Unique or special characteristics: The eastern race of wolverine is classified as endangered by COSEWIC (Convention On the Status of Endangered Wildlife In Canada), while the western race is considered vulnerable; this has led to heightened national attention to the management of wolverine. Wolverine are at naturally low densities over their entire range, have relatively low reproductive potential, and are dependent on large tracts of wilderness. Preferred habitat for wolverine is poorly known. In northern Alaska, remnant snowdrifts in small drainages with meltwater caverns are believed to be important for maternal females and their offspring, and snowdrifts are thought to provide den sites. The quality of wolverine habitat is probably linked to the biomass of large mammals; as such, the seasonal occurrence or range of the Porcupine caribou herd may provide good wolverine habitat.

Local Importance Harvest: An average of about 10-13 wolverine per year was reported at Aklavik through the Inuvialuit Harvest Study from 1986-1993. The harvest has been biased toward males; the explanation for this is unknown. Most wolverine are tracked and shot in late winter, typically by caribou hunters.

What do I look like? I look like a cross between a hairy weasel, a dog,and a bear.They have dark shaggy hair with tan markings.I am about 3 and a half feet long.I have very strong legs that help me run fast so I can catch my food. Why do I look the way I do? I look this way because my strong body helps me run to catch and kill my food that can be as big as reindeer. my strong body helps me intimidate my enemies My Habitat I live in cold forests , in cold mountains,and in the open plains of the Artic tundra.I also live in caves and under fallen trees.

Escape Ramp Wolverine Overpass back to top The wolverine overpass (WOP) has been in place since 1997 and cost more than $1.75 million (Canadian) to construct. The structure is 50m wide and 72m long. It is an undivided, concrete structure with 1.8m high earth berms and vegetation. Infrared cameras and track beds are used to continually monitor wildlife crossings. To date, more than 1,600 crossings have been documented on the overpass, which is used predominantly by deer and elk, but also frequently by grizzly bears, wolves, cougars, and black bears. Large carnivore use on the overpass has increased each year, indicating that there is a learning curve (steeper for carnivores than ungulates) and that all wildlife eventually adapt and incorporate such structures into their movements.

Links Wolverine (Gulo gulo) There is probably no other animal that has generated as much legend for its size as the Wolverine. Males can weigh almost 15 kilograms, which is much less than many family dogs, but there are reports of Wolverines taking down deer. Their ferocity when cornered is awesome. Wolverines are not common, and this, along with their secretive habits, may be why they are rarely seen. They live in forested areas, where they capture small mammals and birds. They depend heavily in winter on carrion, and their jaws are incredibly strong, and well suited to feeding on frozen animal carcasses. Wolverines are well known, too, for their predation on trappers' catches, and cached provisions. The pelt of the Wolverine itself has traditionally had a unique value - it is considered the best fur to trim a parka hood, because it sheds frost without becoming wet.

Wildlife in Greater Yellowstone Related Articles Wildlife News News releases and articles on important wildlife issues in Greater Yellowstone News Threatened, Endangered, and Sensitive Species In Greater Yellowstone, 19 animal species are now listed under the ESA. Six are endangered ESA Ecosystem Management Management But instead of wildlife, it was the area’s geologic oddities—geysers, hot springs, and mud pots—that prompted Congress in 1872 to protect Yellowstone as a public "pleasuring ground," off limits to grazing, mining, logging, and other exploitation. Luckily, America soon realized that Yellowstone was also a remarkable storehouse of wildlife. Writing in Forest and Stream in 1882, George Bird Grinnell described the rapid transformation of the West, and noted, "There is one spot left, a single rock about which the tide will break, and past which it will sweep, leaving it undefiled by the unsightly traces of civilization. Here in this Yellowstone Park the large game of the West may be preserved from extermination…" No less vital to the character and health of Greater Yellowstone are its many other species: more than 300 birds, 94 mammals, two dozen reptiles and amphibians, and vast numbers of invertebrates, including 128 species of butterflies, live and move through this remarkable place.

Release Date: COMMISSION VOICES APPROVAL OF LYNX REINTRODUCTION The Colorado Wildlife Commission expressed support for a Division of Wildlife project to reestablish Canadian lynx in Colorado beginning this winter. Division biologists told the Commission at a recent workshop in Glenwood Springs that Colorado's population of native lynx could not be reestablished unless they were brought to Colorado from Canada. The biologists emphasized reestablishing lynx should begin this year while lynx and their favorite prey, the snowshoe hare, are approaching the peak of their population cycles "We either need to bring lynx in this year or wait another ten years to the peak of the next population cycle," said John Seidel, the Division researcher leading the project. The Commission will take final action on the reintroduction at its meeting Nov. 12-13 in Denver. Seidel told the Commissioners at their monthly workshop, "If we don't begin work on this reintroduction, the federal government will take the lead within the next several years." In fact, the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service has proposed listing the lynx as endangered or threatened on a national level. That action could occur as soon as June, 1999. The Division is working in cooperation with the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service, the U.S. Forest Service, the Bureau of Land Management and Rocky Mountain National Park on the effort through a steering group called CLAWS, the Colorado Lynx and Wolverine Strategy. While this group wants to move forward with lynx reintroductions this year, it has decided to wait until next year to attempt a wolverine reintroduction. The wolverine, also native to Colorado, is a candidate for reintroduction, "and a lot of ground work has been completed, but we just don't have the manpower or resources to complete that project this year," Seidel noted.

54. Wolverine Wander Wilderness researcher John Krebs, a biologist with the Columbia Basin Fish and wildlife CompensationProgram, who leads the investigation of wolverine population numbers http://www.cmiae.org/wolverinewander.htm

Wolverine Wander Wilderness by Michael Morris, Parks Canada Wolverines have a reputation for fierceness. They are willing or maybe just desperate enough to take on prey much larger than themselves. About the same weight as a medium-sized dog, under favourable snow conditions, a wolverine can kill a caribou ten times its size, as happened on Mount Klotz in Mount Revelstoke National Park. The wolverine is the largest terrestrial member of the weasel family. It lives mostly by scavenging from dead animals. When hunting, they usually kill small mammals such as squirrels, martens, marmots and porcupines with a bite to the base of the skull, their incisors slipping between the vertebrae to sever the spinal column. Wolverine - Parks Canada photo Typically, scavengers such as wolverines prosper in the presence of other more effective predators such as wolves, making use of their leftovers. However, wolves are rare in the Columbia Mountains. Instead, avalanches that kill unlucky caribou, moose, and mountain goats are just the sort of good fortune that these wilderness wanderers need. Wolverines have a large foot relative to their size. It is heavily furred, an adaptation for walking on snow. They take a short step, have five toes and leave a print about the size of a man’s fist. When ski touring, I have occasionally come across a lone set of tracks heading over alpine passes as high as 9000 feet.
