Description
This
skull
of a
male
woodland
muskox
,
found
in
Licking
County
,
is
an
example
of an
animal
that
roamed
Ohio
during
the
last
ice
age
.
Bootherium
,
one
of
five
different
kinds
of
muskoxen
that
lived
during
the
late
Pleistocene
,
primarily
inhabited
woodland
regions
(areas
characterized
by a
mix
of
tree
stands
and
grasslands)
.
Adult
males
probably
used
their
large
hornbases
in
head-on
clashes
with
other
males
to
compete
for
dominance
as
part
of the
mating
process
. The
curved
horn
tips
were also
undoubtedly
used
by
both
sexes
to
ward
off
predators
. This
specimen
measures
20
x
13
x
11
inches
(50.8
x
33.02
x
27.94
cm)
.
While
successful
for
millennia
during
the
Pleistocene
, the
species
ultimately
became
extinct
. The
woodland
muskox
,
taller
and
thinner
than its
modern
surviving
relative
,
measured
approximately
56
to
70
inches
at the
shoulders
and
ranged
from
500
to
900
pounds
in
weight
.
Bootherium
was
widespread
in
North
America
, from
Alaska
to
Texas
and from the
Pacific
coast
to the
North
Atlantic
coastal
area
.
