Not a true ox: Muskox (Ovibos moschatus) maximum card (USA) and philatelic souvenir folded page















I like the maximum card, and I also like the philatelic souvenir folded page.
That page is very educational - all the interesting facts about the subject.
Much more than a simple postcard...:)

It is the mammal species with the longest hairs in the world.
"As members of the subfamily Caprinae of the family Bovidae, muskoxen are more closely related to sheep and goats than to oxen, but are in their own genus, Ovibos. Both sexes have long curved horns."

Your ongoing feedback is always appreciated.
If you never return, it is my fault for boring (?) you.
If you return, it is your merit to have discovered a blog worth exploring and following. :)
