Chasing The Wolverine - Most Extraordinary Predator That Ever Lived - Documentary TV
The
wolverine, also referred to as glutton, carcajou, skunk bear, or
quickhatch, is the largest land-dwelling species of the family
Mustelidae (weasels). It is a stocky and muscular carnivore, more
closely resembling a small bear than other mustelids. The wolverine, a
solitary animal,[1] has a reputation for ferocity and strength out of
proportion to its size, with the documented ability to kill prey many
times larger than itself.
The wolverine can be found primarily in
remote reaches of the Northern boreal forests and subarctic and alpine
tundra of the Northern Hemisphere, with the greatest numbers in northern
Canada, the U.S. state of Alaska, the Nordic countries of Europe, and
throughout western Russia and Siberia. Their populations have
experienced a steady decline since the 19th century in the face of
trapping, range reduction and habitat fragmentation, such that they are
essentially absent in the southern end of their European range.
