    Storyline

    Did you know

    • Trivia
      The narrator, John Teal Jr., prefers the Inuktitut (a language of the Inuit) name umingmak to muskox.
    • Quotes
      • Narrator: [on capturing muskox calves] Sometimes they are swimming in the middle of the herd, and you have to dive under and watch for the shortest pair of legs swimming past and grab them. Of course, the calf struggles violently - you have to be sure to keep its head above water. The job is to drag it ashore, or to the plane when it lands - a job made more difficult by the icy water.
    • Crazy credits
      Narrator John Teal Jr. identifies all the other actors verbally.
