About the Book How could one explain why an animal threatening to charge and annihilate a man one minute would walk up to him when he had stretched out full length on the straw outside her pen, and lie down as close to him as the rails separating them would allow? The Musk Oxen of Gango is a unique true story about "the wildest, most dangerous of all Arctic mammals," and a man who had the courage to try and flesh out a dream against unsurmountable odds. It is about his winning the complete trust and friendship of animals sometimes thought of as prehistoric survivors of the last ice age. It is about their personalities, their intelligence, their sense of humour. There is no other book quite like it.
