Although popular opinion tells us the wolverine is a blood thirsty, ravenous monster of the forest its reputation isn't completely deserved. The wolverine is not a hunter of large animals such as caribou or grizzlies. Its relatively small size and solitary habit would make it difficult to bring down adult large animals.

The wolverine is a scavenger and gets most of its food from the clean up of moose and caribou kills. It has impressive teeth and powerful neck muscles with which to crush bone and tear flesh, even frozen flesh.

The wolverine is one of the rarest mammals. They live in a wide variety of habitats from forested valleys to alpine and arctic tundra where there is abundant wildlife to support its scavenging habits.

Liters are normally small with 2 to 4 kits being born during January to March.

Wolverine fur is highly valued because it doesn't allow frost to form and has been a favorite for outdoor fur ruffs.
