What eats musk ox?

Natural predators to musk oxen include wolves and bears, but they are also hunted by humans. When threatened, musk oxen form a defensive circle or line.

By the 1920s, musk oxen had disappeared from Alaska, with the only remaining animals being found in east Greenland and Arctic Canada. International concern over the impending extinction of this animal led to an effort to restore a population in Alaska. In 1930 the U.S. government relocated 34 musk ox calves from Greenland to Alaska. Their first stop was Fairbanks, where they spent 5 years before they were moved to their permanent home on Nunivak Island. The program was a success and since then musk oxen have been either relocated or reintroduced to other parts of Alaska.

THREATS/CONCERNS

Natural predators to musk oxen include wolves and bears, but they are also hunted by humans. When threatened, musk oxen form a defensive circle or line. If attacked by a predator, they will first run to a higher location, then turn and stand shoulder to shoulder, facing outward, heads lowered, forming an impressive wall of musk oxen. The calves are safely protected behind this wall, in the middle of the ring. If necessary, an adult or two may charge from the circle to attack the predators, and the circle would close behind them. This defense works well against their natural predators, wolves, and bears, but makes them vulnerable to human hunters. Though musk oxen had lived in Alaska for thousands of years, by the late 1800s there were no musk oxen left in Alaska, and as few as 5,000 in the entire world. After reintroduction efforts began in 1930, almost 4,000 muskoxen existed in Alaska by 2000. In recent years, the herds in the Arctic National Wildlife Refuge and adjoining areas have declined. No one knows exactly why the musk ox went extinct in Alaska, but it has been speculated it was because of climatic changes that made it hard for the animals to live and find enough food. Climate change is still a threat to musk ox survival. Watch a video about their survival in cold-weather environments and climate change concerns below.

Does breast get bigger when touched?

kidshealth.org - Does Touching a Girl's Breasts Make Them Grow? (for Teens) - Kids Health

Is it true that when you or another person touches your boobs, they will get bigger?

– Katie*

No, it's not true. Touching or massaging breasts does not make them grow. There's a lot of wrong information about breast development out there. Some of the things you may hear are outright cons — like special creams or pills that make breasts bigger. (They don't work!) Others are myths — some girls who want smaller breasts think that sleeping in a bra or wearing a bra that's too small can keep breasts from growing, but that's also not true. In reality, genes and hormones determine breast growth. Some girls develop earlier, others later, and a girl's breasts can keep growing and changing into her late teens. Every girl wants to be proud of her body. There are things you can do — like eating well and getting enough exercise and sleep — to help your body develop in a healthy way. Don't feel shy about talking to your health care provider if you have questions about your body and how it is developing. Your doc is used to answering questions like this, and he or she will be able to give you advice about your individual growth and development.
