Lors de mon voyage en Norv\u00e8ge, un arr\u00eat s\u2019imposait au parc national du Dovrefjell (superficie de 1700 km\u00b2) afin d\u2019\u00e9ventuellement pouvoir observer des b\u0153ufs musqu\u00e9s.<\/p>\n

A mon grand \u00e9tonnement, je constate \u00e0 mon arriv\u00e9e qu\u2019il reste \u00e9norm\u00e9ment de plaques de neige \u00e0 cette p\u00e9riode de l\u2019ann\u00e9e, ce qui \u00e0 l\u2019\u00e9vidence ne facilitera pas les d\u00e9placements, tant \u00e0 ces endroits son \u00e9paisseur est encore importante.<\/p>\n

Apr\u00e8s quelques recherches aux jumelles, je finis par rep\u00e9rer au loin un groupe de 3 m\u00e2les et d\u00e9cide donc d\u2019aller \u00e0 leur rencontre tout en zigzagant entre les plaques de neige et autres zones inond\u00e9es par la fonte des neiges.<\/p>\n

Les b\u0153ufs musqu\u00e9s sont r\u00e9put\u00e9s pour avoir un caract\u00e8re bien tremp\u00e9, ils n\u2019aiment pas \u00eatre surpris et n\u2019h\u00e9sitent pas \u00e0 charger si d\u2019aventure on s\u2019approche trop pr\u00e8s. Il est donc conseill\u00e9 de les approcher progressivement et bien \u00e0 vue.<\/p>\n

Comme \u00e0 l\u2019\u00e9vidence ils courent plus vite que moi et pr\u00e9f\u00e9rant \u00e9viter une charge d\u2019un de ces m\u00e2les de presque 400 kg, j\u2019applique donc la m\u00e9thode et avance lentement dans leur direction (vu le terrain, je n\u2019ai pas vraiment le choix).<\/p>\n

J\u2019observe r\u00e9guli\u00e8rement leur comportement et ils me feront bien comprendre par un hochement de t\u00eate de gauche \u00e0 droite quand la limite est atteinte\u2026 ce qui de facto me fait reculer vite fait de quelques m\u00e8tres, jusqu\u2019\u00e0 ce qu\u2019ils fassent \u00e0 nouveau semblant de m\u2019ignorer.<\/p>\n

En y prenant le temps, j\u2019arriverai \u00e0 me faire accepter et \u00e0 m\u2019approcher d’eux \u00e0 une cinquantaine de m\u00e8tres. Ils seront tellement bien rassur\u00e9s, qu\u2019ils se coucheront m\u00eame tout pr\u00e8s\u2026 mais sans jamais rel\u00e2cher leur vigilance \u00e0 mon \u00e9gard.<\/p>\n

Pour terminer quelques mots sur ces animaux pour le moins \u00e9tonnants.<\/p>\n

L\u2019\u00e9tude de fossiles, prouve d\u00e9j\u00e0 la pr\u00e9sence de leurs anc\u00eatres lors de la pr\u00e9histoire.<\/p>\n

Les b\u0153ufs musqu\u00e9s vivent aujourd\u2019hui dans la toundra arctique. Les grands m\u00e2les peuvent atteindre 1,4m au garrot pour un poids approchant les 400 kg.<\/p>\n

Malgr\u00e9 cet apparent embonpoint, ils peuvent atteindre les 50 km\/h \u00e0 la course, ce qui \u00e9videmment compte tenu de leur caract\u00e8re, invite \u00e0 la prudence lorsqu\u2019on tente de les approcher.<\/p>\n

Le m\u00e2le et la femelle du b\u0153uf musqu\u00e9 portent tous deux d\u2019impressionnantes cornes. Chez les m\u00e2les, les bases de chaque corne s\u2019avancent sur le front et se rencontrent pour former une bosse dure de corne et d\u2019os d\u2019une \u00e9paisseur pouvant atteindre 10 cm. Celle-ci leur sera utile lors des combats en p\u00e9riode de rut \u2026 C\u2019est en effet en fon\u00e7ant violemment t\u00eate contre t\u00eate que les m\u00e2les dominants s\u2019imposent dans le troupeau.<\/p>\n

C\u2019est gr\u00e2ce \u00e0 un \u00e9pais manteau que le b\u0153uf musqu\u00e9 peut supporter des temp\u00e9ratures pouvant atteindre les -40\u00b0. Ce manteau se compose d\u2019une toison laineuse isolante, en contact avec la peau, recouverte de grands poils de pr\u00e8s de 60cm. Sa laine est huit fois plus chaude que celle des moutons.<\/p>\n

Son aire de r\u00e9partition se limite aujourd\u2019hui au parc du Dovrefjell en Norv\u00e8ge, Groenland et nord du Canada.<\/p>\n
