Wolverines aren’t related to wolves, although they look a bit like small bears. They’re actually related to weasels and badgers. Wolverines live in cold climates like Canada and northern Europe. They have long, stout bodies like a badger. Their fur is thick and is black or gray, with white markings on their faces and tummies. Wolverines are solitary animals. A wolverine can walk up to 15 miles each day looking for food. A male wolverine often lives in a burrow or den with a few female wolverines and their babies. Wolverines are carnivores. They eat fruit or nuts, but they like meat best.

There are two wolverines nearby, and if there is a person in a red shirt, they may be able to tell you more about them
