Musk oxen keep themselves warm through their thick fur, which consists of a long outer layer of guard hairs and a dense undercoat called qiviut. This undercoat is highly insulating and can retain heat even in freezing temperatures. Additionally, their large body size and fat layer help to conserve body heat, allowing them to withstand harsh Arctic climates. Together, these adaptations enable musk oxen to thrive in extremely cold environments.
