Musk oxen have a strong odor primarily due to the secretion of a substance called musk, produced by males during the mating season. This musk, which is used to attract females and establish dominance, can be quite pungent. Additionally, their thick fur can trap odors from their natural environment, contributing to their overall smell. This unique scent is a characteristic feature of these animals, especially during breeding times.

Oh, dude, the musk ox has a sweet deal going on with some birds called the "oxpeckers." The oxpeckers chill on the musk ox's back, eating pesky bugs and ticks, while the musk ox gets a free grooming session. It's like a spa day for the musk ox, but with more feathers and less cucumber water.
The primary predators of the Arctic musk ox are wolves and, in some cases, bears, particularly when the musk ox is young or weakened. Arctic foxes may also scavenge on musk ox carcasses. However, adult musk oxen are well-adapted for survival in harsh conditions and can defend themselves effectively against these predators.
