Tourist takes close fotos of Muskox

2010 Reader Submission
Pending Acceptance

I could not find this recent story in the search engine.

A tourist from Austria takes close photos of a Moskox on a mountain in Norway. Theese animals are highly terrotorial, aggressive and deadly. An expert on moskox says the tourist are extremly lucky to be alive. A professional wild life photographer documents it from far away.

Definitely Keep: Honorable Mention
While we've gotten a lot of submissions about people doing dumb things around wild animals I think the photos in this case make this submission stand out. I don't know about you, but I certainly wouldn't try getting that close to a wild animal that's bigger than I am and sporting a really nasty looking set of horns. Thanks, Simen!
