Why I dress up as a polar bear for science
Scientist Joel Berger has dedicated ten years of his life to studying muskoxen. With global warming affecting their habitat, muskoxen have increasingly come into contact with roaming polar bears.

Joel is the author of the book Extreme Conservation. He started by answering the question - what exactly are muskoxen? (Photo courtesy of Joel Berger.)
