Thirty-two musk oxen were found dead in the ice along the Bering Strait, apparently killed when they drowned in water that surged ashore during a winter storm, the National Park Service said on Tuesday. The dead animals were found entombed in shoreline ice at the Preserve, the Park Service said. [Photo/Agencies]
