Musk sheep, a type of wild sheep native to Arctic regions, is often referred to by different names depending on the region. Some of the synonyms for musk sheep are Ovis moschatus, the Greenland Mound Sheep, the Oomingmak, the Moschus Sheep, and the Muskox Sheep. These animals are famed for their strong musky odor that they emit from their scent glands, which is believed to help them in marking territories and attracting mates. The musk sheep's wool, which is called qiviut, is highly sought after for its softness, warmth, and durability and is used for making hats, scarves, and garments. While the musk sheep's population has declined in recent years due to habitat loss and hunting, conservation efforts are underway to protect these magnificent creatures.
