I had to laugh when the page opened. I was expecting another type of couple. Are they in someone's yard? Unusual pets!! I suppose those horns would scare off intruders. I would sure hate to think about cleaning up my yard behind them though.
Musk ox are sure, well, hairy, aren't they? How do you know they are a couple? I didn't see any rings. Is it the heart shape on the one forehead?? Great shots, telephoto or not.
I had a friend that once lived in Alaska...and one job he did was to comb the musk ox for their hair. I guess it was an experience he will never forget.

Grew up in a small Georgia town with a desire to see some of the places I had read about and many I had not. I moved to Alaska and lived there for about ten years. My jobs took me to many parts of the state including Barrow, Nome, Kodiak Island and many more. I have also lived in California, Oregon and now Washington state.
Let this be the story of the journey so far.

These are not the best photos, I was across the pasture using the telephoto.
Hope you enjoy these two.
Of course I enjoyed staring at them! And you thought that's not their best photo?
Look at their eyes, very peaceful and calm!

I think they're great photos! Seems like you're standing right there, no across the pasture. Thanks for sharing!

They do have a lot of hair! Was this photo taken in Alaska?
Looks like they are someones pet since we can see the house with the door. Good pictures. Great camera.

Love the pictures. I don't think I have ever seen an ox before. Hope you have a great day!
Great shots. I can sort of tell they are with telephoto but not from the quality. Great work as always of a lovely couple.
Are those the same as Yaks? Here I was singing yakkity-yak don't talk back! when I looked at the photo. Cute, very cute.
Stop by my blog and pick up an award I've given you.
I like these oxes. This is the first time I remember anyone showing pictures of them. A very good idea.
Wow! Such skirts, such handsome, sober looking beasts! Wonderful shots!
Those are cool photos. I bet Miss Cindi, wouldn't want to mess with them lol.

Very handsome couple indeed. I wish I had a telephoto. I am always scaring off live subjects. lol
I haven't seen one yet. Very clear capture, Judy! One would think you're there near the scene -hurray for telephoto lens! :)
Neat, I haven't seen one of those either.
