Which is biggest? A reindeer or a musk ox?

Can you use the animals for anything else than food?

Has the musk ox always been living in Western Greenland?

The bull is larger than the cow. In the autumn, when the bulls are in rut, the strongest bulls gather a harem. The bull defends his harem against other bulls in violent fights where they lock their antlers and try to push each other away. After the rutting, the bulls lose their antlers. The cows lose their antlers later on in the year.

The bull is somewhat larger than the cow. The musk ox comes from North and East Greenland and Arctic Canada. In 1962 it was introduced into Western Greenland. When they mate, they gather into small flocks. The flock consists of one bull and a number of cows and calves of both sexes. The bull defends his harem against other bulls in noisy fights where the bulls thrust their foreheads against each other.

Welcome to the Icefjord Centre. The Icefjord Centre is a house holding many stories of ice and life with the ice. The Centre is located at Ilulissat in Greenland.

In spring, Malik hunts grouse and eider. He deep freezes them so that he has food supplies for the winter.

It lives in the mountains Its wing span is approximately 57 cm It is 32-41 cm long Weight: 350-740 g It normally lays 4-5 eggs every year It broods for 21-24 days

The ptarmigan changes its plumage according to the season. In the summer it has grey feathers. In the winter it is white. Some years the female lays only 3 eggs, other years it lays 13 eggs.&nbsp; Years when the female lays many eggs are called "grouse years".

The eider eats mussles, crayfish and snails.&nbsp; The female builds the nest and hatches the eggs. The male and the female look very different from each other.
