Wolverines in other languages

General
I got asked awhile ago if I could provide a listing of foreign words for wolverine so that this person could do a more thorough image search on Google. Being someone who does searches for wolverines on a regular basis, I often put foreign words for wolverine into searches to get news, photos and videos from around the world. Here is a listing of words I typically use.

gulo - Latin - glutton - genus
järv - Swedish
carcajou, glouton, loup glouton - French Canadian
jerv - Norwegian
ahma - Finnish
vielfraß (vielfrass) - German
росомаха (rosomakha) - Russian
rosomák - Slovak, Polish (if this isn't typed exactly as you see it, you'll get photos of a tank)
veelvraat - Dutch
элбэнх, Нохой зээх (Nokhoi zeekh) - Mongolian (yes, there are wolverines in Mongolia)
クズリ (kuzuri) - Japanese
Kinkajou is not the same as carcajou. However, it does come from the Algonquian word meaning "wolverine," kwingwaage, Ojibwe - gwiingwa'aage, French - quincajou.
Have fun.
