<VIDEO> Wolverine attacking a reindeer
General | Posted 8 years agoToday, The Wolverine Foundation shared an absolutely badass video of a wolverine in Norway attacking a reindeer. The video is great quality and does a good job at showing the speed, agility, strength, ferocity and determination of this often overlooked forty pound (on average) mustelid. This is the kind of stuff that makes me wish I had majored in Zoology and could go out and study these animals and animals like them.
I will also add, that some years ago, I was part of a nasty online debate regarding whether or not a full-grown male wolverine could kill a full-grown male wolf. There were a few people that voted for the wolverine, but I was the only one bringing data and intelligent scenarios to the debate. Of course, the wolf people, thinking that their animal was instantaneous victor due to size alone, shit all over everything I posted, the fools... After watching this video, there is no doubt in my mind that a wolverine is capable of the job, although it wouldn't win each time.
Enjoy.

<VIDEO> Breaking Trail - Phantom of the Wilderness
General | Posted 9 years agoCoyote Peterson has finally uploaded his wolverine encounter to Youtube. Filmed in conjunction with Steve Kroschel of Haines Alaska, the video gets Coyote up close and personal with one of Steve Kroschel's wolverines. Mr. Kroschel's wolverines have been seen in Running Free, Wolverine: Chasing the Phantom, Wolverine King and other Alaska-based movies and documentaries. The man has also suggested that wolverines would be great for avalanche search and rescue (I have commented on that here: https://www.furaffinity.net/journal/7474128 ).
It's not a terrible video, but I would have preferred more of the wolverines and less of Steve. I was also unimpressed with the ending, as the wolverine WAS NOT getting aggressive or possessive, but was instead becoming playful. I don't feel that this animal, as a trained pet, posed any real danger to Coyote, despite it coming off that way on camera due to Steve's dialogue. Honestly, I cannot help but wonder if ending was on purpose just to create shock value.
Coyote supposedly wanted to film wolverines in the wild and called this encounter a "plan B," which I am not so sure that I buy. If Coyote really wanted to go through with his "plan A" of finding wolverines in the wild, he could have contacted The Wolverine Foundation. This group specializes in the study, tracking and tagging of wild wolverines and although he likely wouldn't have gotten the same encounter, to me at least, it would have been more of an adventure and the foundation would have provided us with better information. Perhaps he did contact the Foundation, I have no way of knowing, but I have personally interacted with both Steve Kroschel and The Wolverine Foundation via email and being blunt, the information provided by the Foundation was superior... considerably. The information I got from Steve, was not only juvenile in the way it was presented, but also bogus.
I have been a fan of Breaking Trail and Brave Wilderness for two years, but although this twenty-nine minute video contains some nice wolverine footage, I was left disappointed, as the video was significantly lacking in data about wolverines as a species and spent more time showing of the eccentric nature of Mr. Kroschel. In my opinion, this is not what of Coyote's better videos and I personally feel that I could have provided more facts and made a better video.

<NEWS> Wolverine causes lockdown at Canadian middle school
General | Posted 9 years agoThere isn't too much too this story, but a middle school in Yellowknife did go on partial lockdown after a wolverine was sighted in the morning and tracks were found at the rear of the school in the afternoon. I think the lockdown was a bit much, because at 20-30 pounds, a wolverine isn't much of a threat to students and is likely to run off at the sight of a group of students. Wolverines aren't known to attack humans and would not likely pose a threat unless cornered. I can see having students stay in if there was a bear or cougar wandering the property, but a wolverine... In the words of Charlie Brown, "good grief."

<NEWS> Wolverines may go onto the Endangered Species List
General | Posted 9 years agoAlthough I do not have a ton of time to write this evening, I did want to throw this story out there because it's sort of a big deal.
In 2013, the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service considered adding the wolverine to the Endangered Species List due to climate change, but only a year later rejected the proposal, stating that the evidence was inconclusive. Conservationists filed a lawsuit that year, but farmers, ranchers, big oil, and snowmobile associations backed the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service. However, on Monday, April 4th, 2016, Chief Judge Dana L. Christensen of the U.S. District Court for Montana handed down an 80-page judgment in favor of the conservationists and ordered U.S. Fish and Wildlife to reconsider their stance. This means that the wolverine may become the first animal within the lower 48 to receive federal protections because of climate change.
Unlike with polar bears, which were added to the list in 2008 due to climate change and "visible" shrinking ice, wolverine researchers have never been able to produce concrete evidence that climate change affects the animal. Although it has been stated that wolverines require a fresh snowpack to give birth, scientists are still uncertain as to why snow is required for the animal to give birth. It is because of this, that scientists have had a hard time convincing the Feds to protect this animal.
“If evidence shows that wolverines need snow for denning purposes, and the best available science projects a loss of snow as a result of climate where and when wolverines den, then what sense does it make to deny that climate change is a threat to the wolverine simply because research has yet to prove exactly why wolverines need snow for denning?” Christensen wrote in the order. “There is near universal agreement that wolverines require deep snow for reproductive denning purposes.”
Although not yet on the list, this is a triumph for science and could be a huge step in protecting a species that, is not only affected by loss of snow, but is also still trapped for fur and only has an estimated 300 animals in the lower 48. This ruling could also allow other animals that are predicted to be impacted by climate change to be protected by the Endangered Species Act.

<NEWS> Wolverines as avalanche search and rescue
General | Posted 9 years agoThe Alaska Wildlife Conservation Center hopes to one day use captive-bred wolverines for avalanche search and rescue. Infact, the group, working with Steve Kroschel, already has a plan in motion involving a possible upcoming litter of wolverine kits.
Rats have been trained to detect bombs, ferrets have been trained to run wires and hunt and mink have been trained to fish, and there is no doubt that the wolverine, with its intelligence, amazing sense of smell and large paws, is certainly designed for the task. Infact, Kroschel simulated a rescue for a National Geographic special. However, these animals are far more difficult to deal with than dogs and those listed above.
For one, wolverines, along with mink, ferrets and other mustelids, are far more independent than dogs and getting them to do what you want, isn't always going to be possible. On top of that, the cost of keeping wolverines is significantly higher than a dog and breeding wolverines, even for a lot of zoos, is about as hard as breeding pandas. Getting a female wolverine to produce kits is hard enough, but even worse, wolverines kits have a horrible tendency to die in captivity before reaching their first birthday.
I find this concept to be intriguing and I certainly understand Kroschel's desire to give his animals a greater purpose, but at with their very low reproduction rates, I do not feel this concept to be worth the effort. We are just not at a point where we can breed, train and keep these animals like dogs. Dogs have a desire to work and please, mustelids, do not.

<ZOO NEWS> Listing update, C-bus Zoo updates enclosure
General | Posted 9 years agoFirst off, I have added a lot of European Zoos to our Zoo Listing. You can check them out here: https://www.furaffinity.net/journal/6919930/
Secondly, the Columbus Zoo located in Powell, OH, has updated their wolverine habitat. The habitat, although it doesn't appear to have been expanded, now features a new rock wall, some new logs for climbing and a larger pool all intended for animal enrichment. This zoo does having a breeding pair (no kits produced), so if you find yourself within the state of Ohio, be sure to check out the new enclosure located within the North American section at the front of the zoo. I will likely be making my visit sometime in the fall.

<NEWS> Wolverines rebound in the Washington Cascades
General | Posted 9 years agoAccording to the U.S. Forest Service, wolverines are moving back into the Washington Cascades. Once considered a massive pest and threat, wolverines were wiped out in the state of Washington, along with many other northern states, in the early 1900s. However, it would appear that these animals are coming down from Canada and once again making their home in the state of Washington. It is now believed that there are thirty wolverines living within the state and experts hope that construction of the new wildlife overpass on Interstate 90 will allow the animals to move further south.

<DEBUT 02.25.16> Wolverine: Ghost of the Northern Forest
General | Posted 10 years agoA new wolverine documentary will be debuting on Thurs., Feb.25, 2016 at 8:00 pm on CBC-TV’s The Nature of Things. At this time, this appears to be a Canadian-only broadcast and it would also appear that the on-site videos are disabled for viewers outside of Canada. Although I will be unable to watch this documentary unless it is released to DVD, I did want to make our member's aware.
The documentary includes all new footage of wolverines and looks at the social nature of the animals, taking a further look at new evidence of these animals having strong generational family ties. This topic was also touched upon in Wolverine X.
It's a damned shame that I will miss this.

Do you collect wolverine what-nots?
General | Posted 10 years agoChances are that most of us have a collection of photographs or art on our computers, but I was wondering what else do we all have aside from the art, photos and porn?
Do you collect plushes?
Do you collect wildlife coins?
Books?
Carvings?
Animal prints?
Clothes?
Skulls, bones, teeth and or claws?
Maybe a piece of fur a perhaps a whole pelt?
Where are you finding wolverine-related items, what is in your collection and what does it mean to you?

<VIDEO> The Wolverine Song
General | Posted 10 years agoDue to some issues with my right wrist, I am a little behind on getting new content out there. My wrist issues, which caused my right wrist to no longer to bend and was apparently caused by a cyst under the skin, now seems to be resolved, so I will be pushing out some new content by the end of this week for sure. Whilst you wait, I am going to share with you this humorous and obnoxious(?) video that I found lurking upon YouTube.
This video is part of a series called Wild Sings and was put out by Banff National Park, Alberta, CA and Park's Canada in the fall of last year. Though more educational than Ylvis' "The Fox," I found this video to be just as goofy, ridiculous and obnoxious, which may have been the intent. However, even though it got some media coverage from the Huff Post CA, etc., unlike "The Fox," these videos never seemed to go viral. The original video has since been disabled or removed, but copies are still lurking out there.

Wolverine Song
https://youtu.be/W5DNlNbsXIs
Chorus:
Wolverine, wolverine little and lean
Wolverine, I’m a killing machine
Wolverine, wolverine solitary unseen
Keepin’ it real but never keepin’ it clean
Resembling a bear in a short stocky frame
Although you might not care
I’m gonna tell you all the same
Frost free fur, stripes down the back
Spray like a skunk
When threatened with attack
Beady black eyes, powerful jaws
Muscular thighs, razor-sharp claws
Paws so wide, I can walk upon the snow
And those who tried to spy me
Likely only saw my ghost
CHORUS
I scavenge on a moose
And gorge on his remains
Or drop a caribou, on the northern plains
Did you listen to the shriek
He descended into darkness
See the glisten of my teeth
As I defend the carcass
When lookin’ for a mate
I’d hoof a hundred clicks
If my babe and me relate
We’ll make a couple kits
By the second summer, kits are all grown
No more hunting with your mama
Got to strike out on your own
CHORUS
Gulo gulo, that’s Latin for “Glutton”
That’s my name
Or “Carcajou”, “Quickhatch”, “Skunk Bear”
Claim to fame
But there’s another beast, man
Who puts it all to shame
Consuming and abusing
Like it’s all a big game
So what’s it really mean to be a wolverine?
A sexy superhero
Or a college football team?
No nothing half that superficial
More like twice as free
I’ll show you how much fun I’m havin’
Simply bein’ me
CHORUS
You’ll find me in the north
All around the Polar Regions
In Canada of course
Russia, Norway, Finland, Sweden
I represent the world
Ambassadorial-ah weasel
Avoiding all the places
Where you’re drillin’ gas and diesel
I used to roam the land
As the weasel king
Now you own my habitat
I’m not the one who stinks
I went deep into the woods
To find some peace and quiet
You say that I’m no good
Yeah, well you’re a riot
CHORUS
Keepin’ it real and seekin’ out peace
Put aside your pride and listen up please
A proposal to the people from the weasel
PEACE

Group purpose and future topics/projects
General | Posted 10 years agoFirst off, I would like to welcome the new members of this group. Thank you very much for being part of this and a special thanks to the members who have been taking part in what I have been posting. Your activity is greatly appreciated.
As for the purpose of this group, well, I am a bored man who has a lot of passion for wolverines and loves to talk about them. This group provides me a medium in which I can share that passion and my knowledge. I am not seeking any fame here, for if I was, my name would be on the front page and let's face it, if I want fame, commissioning porn is the easiest way to achieve that, not running a small group.
I created this group in 2012 along with my now disabled mustelids group with the hopes of being different from other species-related groups here on FA. Instead of just being an icon upon one's page, I desired to create a stronger, more active and more intimate community. I would achieve this by not just favoriting images and revolving around furry smut, but instead by sharing my knowledge and encouraging the group to share their knowledge, stories, pictures, videos and thoughts as well. Sadly, I spent too much time on my mustelid group and let this group just sit. The mustelid group that I spent quite a bit of time on is now disabled, as I found pleasing each mustelid species, keeping things up-to-date and member interests running high simply too great a task for me at the time. This group, being focused upon one species, my species, should be much easier to maintain.
Though I understand that most people on this site are simply seeking art, friends and fame, I do hope that what I post here will at least interest a handful of people and even more importantly, get a few people talking. Though I do plan to seek out and watch new wolverines and also favorite art, I will mainly be focusing upon getting discussions regarding news, science, literature, videos, totems, etc. started, this being the thing that I hope will separate this group from other groups.
Looking forward, here are some topics I would like to cover down the road. A lot of these ideas come from my now defunct mustelids group.
■ Q and A (coming after this journal)
■ More videos for references and amusement (I am also setting up a YouTube channel with my favorite videos)
■ More wolverine-related news regarding sightings, conversation, etc.
■ Wolverine births found in the news or posted to Zooborns
■ The best galleries for wolverine photos
■ The wolverine as a spirit guide / totem animal (in progress)
■ Wolverine musking expanded - new data (in progress)
■ Wolverines in film
■ Wolverines in literature
■ Wolverines in gaming
■ The best sources for wolverine information
I will also continue to update our Wolverine Zoo Listing journal as I come across new exhibits.
Though my old mustelids group had a member listing journal, I will not be creating one here. I felt the member listing to be important to that group because there were so many species being represented among hundreds members. Here, with the group being focused only upon wolverines and made up mainly of wolverines, there is no reason why one cannot use the "Is Watching" list at the bottom of the page. I will be watching wolverines as I find them. Also, another wolverine group already features a listing of wolverines and I do not believe in being redundant.
Feel free to post any thoughts or ideas you may have for content.
Thank you.
As for the purpose of this group, well, I am a bored man who has a lot of passion for wolverines and loves to talk about them. This group provides me a medium in which I can share that passion and my knowledge. I am not seeking any fame here, for if I was, my name would be on the front page and let's face it, if I want fame, commissioning porn is the easiest way to achieve that, not running a small group.
I created this group in 2012 along with my now disabled mustelids group with the hopes of being different from other species-related groups here on FA. Instead of just being an icon upon one's page, I desired to create a stronger, more active and more intimate community. I would achieve this by not just favoriting images and revolving around furry smut, but instead by sharing my knowledge and encouraging the group to share their knowledge, stories, pictures, videos and thoughts as well. Sadly, I spent too much time on my mustelid group and let this group just sit. The mustelid group that I spent quite a bit of time on is now disabled, as I found pleasing each mustelid species, keeping things up-to-date and member interests running high simply too great a task for me at the time. This group, being focused upon one species, my species, should be much easier to maintain.

Wolverines in other languages
General | Posted 10 years agoI 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.
If characters do not display properly, it is probably because FA is having trouble displaying them. Try the Google translator.
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.

<VIDEO> Järvfight
General | Posted 10 years agoSo, I mentioned a month ago that I wanted to keep this group active by posting a wolverine-related video every few weeks. Over the years, I have discovered a few hundred wolverine videos through YouTube and other mediums and I would love to share these with the group for amusement, reference and learning purposes.
Today, I am sharing a video of two fighting wolverines shot in Sweden. This video shows two wolverines of unknown sex fighting in the middle of a snowy road. What I find to be really great about this footage is that with the road plowed, you really get a great sense of how large these animals can really be, these animals far more stocky and less low to the ground than other members of the family. It's nice to see their bodies unobstructed by grass or snow packs.
Also, this video is great when it comes to showing how wolverines often fights animals of the same size or slightly larger. Though it may look as if they're playing as they roll and tumble, these goofy and frenzied movements actually quite effective in fighting. With animals the same size or slightly larger, (ex. wolves), the wolverine will often try to grab the opponent with its claws. Then, being flexible mustelids, they will be begin to roll and flip in order to disorient the opponent and throw it off balance. If the wolverine can knock or drag the opponent down to its level, it should be able to dish out damage to all extremities. Also, as it rolls and rocks, the wolverine can dish out slashing damage with all four paws. I have other videos that will also highlight this method of attacking/defending.
Bonus fact: Järv is Swedish for wolverine and thus, you can find Swedish wolverine videos and photos by searching that word.

Anyhow, I will try to upload a new video soon. If you have a video that you want to share, feel free to let me know and I will add it to the collection and make sure that I credit you as the provider.
I do not have any real wolverine news at the moment, but I do have some topics I want to discuss and will start working on those this weekend at the latest. If you have something that you want to discuss, please let me know in the comments.

<VIDEO> Animalogic on Wolverines
General | Posted 10 years agoThe Animalogic channel on Youtube posted an adequate wolverine video last month. This video certainly isn't the most scientific, but it does provide some interesting facts, even if they're rehashes from other videos and books. The story about the wolverine killing the polar bear is one of the most highly contested wolverine stories out there. Personally, I doubt it, but if you're curious, you can read about the encounter here: http://i57.photobucket.com/albums/g.....epolarbear.jpg (not my image). Though the video did not provide me with any new information, I did enjoy watching the pencil sketch by the video's creator come to life. There are a few errors in the video, but overall, I didn't find it to be that bad.
<EDIT> Corrections:
The wolverine is the largest LAND weasel. It is dwarfed by the sea otter and giant river otter.
There is no evidence of wolverines "taking down" grizzly bears.
Though they have been known to take down elk and moose, these are rare occurrences and the prey is often sickly and slowed down by deep snow, thus giving the wolverine an advantage.
The story with the polar bear mentions there being a zoo involved. The story itself, never mentions a zoo.
To keep this group active, I am going to try to post a new video every few weeks. Over the years, I have found quite the collection.

<NEWS> "Psycho-killer wolverine almost escapes..."
General | Posted 10 years agoEven though this story is now a few months old, I feel that it is worth a share because one, the story is comical and two, it paints a good picture of wolverine determination.
A 40 pound Norwegian wolverine on its way to Alaska managed to chew through its wood and aluminium crate during a stop in Newark, NJ. Though the wolverine never made it out of the crate, the hole was supposedly large enough for the animal to stick its head out. These animals, and mustelids in general, are natural escape artists and it is no surprise to me that wood and aluminium did not manage to contain it. These determined animals will chew through just about anything and have also been known to chew through the 8" thick logs used for wolverine research traps. After refusing to budge, the animal was eventually sedated and moved into a metal cage designed for leopards.

Yoohoo, any Gulos out there?
General | Posted 10 years agoHello fellow Gulos and Gulo-lovers,
It has been a long, long time since I have done anything with this tiny group. This group was created shortly after I created the now defunct FamilyMustelidae and sadly and regrettably, I spent more time working on that group than working on this one. With myself being one in the original handful of wolverines here on FA (2006/2007), I am disappointed by my neglect of the group I created for my own species. Now that I am seeing the number of wolverines on this site rise considerably, I would like to make this group more active. With that said, I am interested in knowing what my members would like to see for content. What is going to keep you active and interested in this group? Please feel free to post your thoughts and ideas.
After three years without an avatar, a photo by city now represents this group. A special thanks for him for providing us this photo from the Detroit Zoo.
If you happen to know any new wolverines, please feel free to send them our way so that we may build up our feisty family of skunk-bears.
Welcome back.
