Baby Muskox Hudson

Welcome Point Defiance Zoo & Aquarium's newest furry resident, a baby muskox named Hudson! Hudson, who was rejected by his mother shortly after birth, has been hand raised by staff at the University of Alaska Fairbanks before arriving to Tacoma late last week. Although the three-month-old shaggy baby is growing quickly – around two pounds every week - he still has a lot of growing to do before he's fully grown (up to 800 lbs). So far, Hudson’s three favorite things are belly scratches from keepers, headbutting the largest logs he can find, and snacking on clovers and dandelions throughout his exhibit. Come by and visit the little calf with so much personality, now on exhibit from 9:30 am-6 pm daily. The Zoo is one of only two accredited zoos in the continental US where visitors can see muskoxen.
