The Ovibos moschatus first lived in earth like and frigid
places like Canada, Greenland, and Alaska (Elder 2005). This habitat is found
in the northern frozen tundra or the arctic tundra where there
are limited amounts of growing seasons and long winters (Coady
1984). The
Ovibos moschatus tend to stay in areas above the tree line with
abundant hills to graze and search for food. Above the tree line
there is a large amount of snow during the winter so the Ovibos
moschatus try live in places wher
e there isn’t that much of it.
Overall, there are about three to four months when the land is
full of nutrients and minerals (Elder 2005). The other months of the year are
harsh and bitter making it hard for the Ovibos moschatus to
collect food. Canada, Greenland and Alaska, is where the Ovibos
moschatus has originated from and now is found in a variety of
places like Russia, Norway, Sweden and even Siberia (Panagiotis
2012). When they
were introduced into Russia, the Ovibos moschatus migrated to
the Taymyr Peninsula and the Wrangel Island. Other kinds of
organisms that live in the same habitat as the Ovibos moschatus
are polar bears, caribou, arctic foxes (polar and white fox),
snowy owl, rock ptarmigan, and wolves.
