A mother muskox bonding with her calf amongst the Autumn colors of the tundra in the Arctic National Wildlife Refuge in Alaska, USA. Family bonding is particularly important for the younger animals, especially in the winter, as they can die from the cold easily unless huddled under the warmth of its mother's long fur coat.
The wildlife in the Arctic National Wildlife Refuge consists of various species which includes fish, land mammals, marine mammals and birds. The musk ox is one type of wildlife which reminds people of the prehistoric days when mammoths were roaming the landscape.
