Kananginak was born in 1935 at an Inuit camp near Ikerasak, NWT (Nunavut). As a child and young man, he led a traditional life of hunting and trapping. In 1957, he married his wife Shooyoo and moved to Kinngait. There, he began to work with artist James Houston.

A detailed ink drawing of a large black-and-white husky or sled dog in a playful, crouched stance, head lowered and tail raised, as if ready to pounce. In the foreground, a small furry animal (possibly a lemming or young muskox) faces the dog. Two human hands reach in from the sides: one open palm on the left, and one on the right holding a pen, appearing to draw or point at the scene. The background is plain white. The artwork is signed "Kananginak Pootoogook 2009" in the lower right corner.

Hudson the muskox has something to say...

Those grumbles are one of the many sounds muskoxen use to communicate, from friendly chatter to showing who’s boss.

Pencil drawing of a coyote and muskox hybrid. The creature takes its main inspiration from the coyote, though it has the long, shaggy fur of the muskox, along with the iconic muskox horns on its head. The creature is drawn in a mid-leap pose with its profile facing to the left.. Coloring has been digitally painted and corresponds to the body’s inspiration of the coyote. The drawing is on top of a pale pink halftone patterned circle that was digitally added to the drawing. Close up of the torso of the creature; the coloring darker than in the full view image.

I could also only find a handful of zoos there, all extremely depressing examples of animal torture, but no muskox. So it makes absolutely no sense to have a whip made from muskox originating in Chechnya, because there are none.

Just learned about the "muskox." Character designer went crazy on this one.
A muskox - looks like a buffalo but then someone threw a couple rugs of animal fur on top for good measure.

And my favorite animal-to-say-its-name, oomingmak.

Thus ended the extremely good zoo visit. I guess everyone is on vacation this week, because the zoo was quite empty. We got to see everything up close & without being rushed. Yay!
A musk ox showing us its butt. It was too hot for muskox (or polar bears, or arctic foxes).

I've never seen or even heard of a muskox before but now I want to learn everything about them! His face at the end🥰 Hudson reminds me of one of the animal characters from the Flintstones.

Muskox are a tough noble arctic animal.

Try muskrat next time.
Muskrats are great animals too but the name is more fitting.

So much yus! I know it was fitting as the Muskox is one of the top 10 smelliest animals in the world. Though it is still unfair for the animal.

City of Yellowknife abdicates responsibility for Elon Muskox’s name

With Elon Musk now a Trump devotee accused of Nazi salutes, the name of Yellowknife's muskox mascot is no longer funny to some. The city appeared to disown it.

#ArtAdventCalendar Day 21: The final animal! Of course, it seems obvious now that the beavers would choose the endangered Haida Ermine as their pile topper. Well done, engineers. And now, to complete this “Solstice Pile of all Canadian Animals” tradition, there’s one last #ArtAdventCalendar post.
A number of cutout paper cartoons of various animals are arranged as a large tower being built by a team of beavers. At the top, a Haida Ermine with a tiny tuque stands on a puffin wearing a scarf who stands a snowshoe hare’s back. The hare wears mittens and is sitting on a snowy owl with a tuque. The owl stands on a Canada goose that wears a scarf and is standing on an arctic fox in a cap. It stands on a river otter in a flap-eared hat who is standing on a lynx wearing a scarf, which stands on a snapping turtle wearing ear muffs. The porcupine below that wears mittens and stands on a wolverine. The wolverine is wearing a tuque and stands upon a wolf wearing a neck warmer. The wolf stands on a ringed seal with a tuque, who lies on top of a mountain lion wearing a long scarf. It stands on a mountain goat with a sash on, below that is a grizzly bear wearing leg warmers who stands on a muskox in a silk scarf, who stands on a polar bear in a beanie tuque, who sits on a moose with ear muffs. It stands on a walrus wearing a mitten as it’s perched on a bison in a tuque at the bottom of the stack. The bison is hitched to a string held by one of several beavers.

#ArtAdventCalendar Day 20 catch-up on Day 21: The wind is swirling around and the newly-added animal looks positively off-balance. I can only reassure myself on the expert calculations of this team of rodent engineers. I wonder what the pile topper will be?
A number of cutout paper cartoons of various animals are arranged as a large tower being built by a team of beavers. At the top, a puffin wearing a scarf stands on the slope of a snowshoe hare’s back. The hare wears mittens on his front paws and has almost knocked off the tuque of the snowy owl that he sits on. The owl stands on a Canada goose that wears a scarf and is standing on an arctic fox in a tiny cap. It stands on a river otter in a flap-eared hat who is standing on a Canada Lynx wearing a scarf, which stands on an snapping turtle wearing ear muffs. The porcupine below that wears mittens and stands on a wolverine. The wolverine is wearing a blue and teal tuque and stands upon a wolf wearing a neck warmer. The wolf stands on a ringed seal with a tuque, who lies on top of a mountain lion wearing a long scarf. It stands on a mountain goat with a sash on, below that is a grizzly bear wearing leg warmers who stands on a muskox in a silk scarf, who stands on a polar bear in a beanie tuque, who sits on a moose with ear muffs. It stands on a walrus wearing a mitten as it’s perched on a bison in a tuque at the bottom of the stack. The bison is hitched to a string held by one of several beavers.

#ArtAdventCalendar Day 11 catch-up. That’s a red flag if I’ve ever seen one! Two, in fact! But is it because of the dangerous animal they just added to the pile…or is something even more dangerous on its way?
A number of cutout paper cartoons of various animals are arranged on a wooden platform in a bed of leaves and foliage. A large tower of animals is being built apparently by a team of beavers. At the top, a beaver waves two red flags while standing atop a disgruntled wolverine wearing a wee blue and teal tuque. It stands upon a wolf wearing a neck warmer with two beavers wearing a hard hats under him. The wolf stands on a ringed seal with a silly tuque, who lies on top of a mountain lion that is wearing a long scarf. It stands on a mountain goat with a sash on, and below that is a grizzly bear wearing red leg warmers who stands on a muskox in a mauve silk scarf, who stands on a polar bear in a beanie tuque, who in turn sits on a moose with ear muffs who is chewing twigs. The moose stands on a walrus wearing a mitten and looking unsteady and annoyed as it is perched on an unimpressed-looking bison in a tuque at the bottom of the stack. The bison is hitched to a string held by one of several beavers in hard hats who are tending to the animals or otherwise supervising construction.

Field Mag reviews MuskOx Flannel Shirts: “The MuskOx vision starts at the source. Rather than using animal fibers like wool or petroleum-based fibers like polyester, MuskOx makes their flannels from ethically sourced 100% cotton fibers”

My favorite definition of MUSK:

Animal product: Musk can come from the glandular secretions of animals like the musk deer, muskox, musk shrew, and musk beetle. It can also come from the vomit of a sperm whale.

I used to tromp through the woods and bogs to the back side of the University of Alaska Fairbanks’ Large Animal Research Farm to watch the fox kit as they came out of their den to play. Also muskox, cranes, lynx, and a lot of other critters there.
