Artist Fun Fact: It looks like mother-daughter day on the tundra. This pair of life sized musk-oxen are made of scrap steel and covered with salvaged steel banding for hair. Musk-Ox was one of a few species of Pleistocene megafauna in North America to survive the Pleistocene/Holocene extinction event and live to the present day.
