It is one of Alaska's favorite Mother's Day traditions, getting up close and personal with animals that have survived the ice age.

“Who doesn’t want to celebrate Mother’s Day with a musk ox mom and the most adorable calf you’re ever going to find in your life?” said Mark Austin, the farm’s executive director.

So far this year, three baby musk oxen have been born and are on display, and more could be on the way. Mother’s Day is the busiest day of the year, attracting more than 1,500 visitors.
