What are predators of the musk ox?

Answer 1

Wolves and (sometimes) polar bears prey on the muskox. The fox will scavenge on the carcass if it can, but it is too small to bring one down. Native peoples also hunt the muskox for food and for the coat it wears, and have done so for thousands of years. A link to the Wikipedia article on the muskox is supplied.

Answer 2

According the the folks at North Conway Moose Safari

No real predators as they're the largest animal in most areas where they live.

1) Man biggest, taking moose lives with vehicle collisions & a week long hunting season.

2) Ticks, can be 10,000 on a single moose.

3) Pack of coyotes may go after a very young moose.

Wolves, bears, and humans are the three main predators of the moose.

* Wolves: usually attack the sick and weak

* Bears:

- Black: Attack the smaller moose

- Grizzly: Attack the larger moose

* Humans: Kill moose for their meat and sometimes antlers.

(Sometimes scavengers like the red fox will pick up the leftover meat)

Another predator of moose are what I believe are called "Winter Ticks" that cause a Moose to rub/eat off fur that keep it warm, and can lower a moose population by 50% in one year. Maybe only 40%, either way.
