Musk oxen have a mutualistic relationship with the birds known as oxpeckers. The birds feed on insects and parasites found on the musk ox's skin, helping to keep the musk ox clean and free from pests. In return, the musk ox gains a form of pest control, as the birds help to reduce the number of harmful insects on their bodies.
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.
