Even the Inuit-hunted animals are not subject to CITES, for musk oxen are not endangered but the harvest is limited greatly each year. The animals are hunted and eaten by First Peoples living a subsistence life style, and the Inuit, Eskimo and other Native processed furs are sometimes used by taxidermists.

Musk oxen (Ovibos moschatus) are not cattle, and are closely related to sheep and goats. They have a thick coat of fur with an undercoat that assists them with surviving in the cold Arctic. The species Ovibos moschatus was a member of the landscape of the Pleistocene and thus a contemporary of the mammoth (Mammuthus). And perhaps Sasquatch/Bigfoot!
