I was doing some research on Nixon's visit to China and reading some of the meeting transcripts and I found out that apparently we gave them a pair of Musk Oxen, kind of like how they gave us Pandas. What happened to them? I can't find much about us even giving them on line.
I found this:

According to the article :
When China gave its first gift of giant pandas to President Nixon in 1972, the Nixon administration reciprocated with an odd gift of Alaskan musk oxen. One of the baby oxen died almost immediately, and the other contracted a disease, which caused it to lose all of its fur, and expired shortly after.
