THE ESA RESOURCES WILDLIFE NWEA and Friends Sue to Protect Wolverines This wolverine was photographed in the North Cascades by a remote camera set up by NWEA volunteers. The wolverine has a well deserved reputation for ferocity, tenacity, and long distance travel. Beyond that not a lot is known about the largest member of the weasel family except that it is exceedingly rare. NWEA and conservation groups from three other states have again gone back to court to force the US Fish and Wildlife Service to protect the wolverine under the Endangered Species Act. If successful the legal action will protect the feisty critter from trapping, which continues in states like Montana, and could protect its high elevation habitat from Wyoming to Washington from the growing influence of snowmobiling. We aren't letting this matter rest, and continue to pursue protection for the wolverine. Northwest Ecosystem Alliance together with Friends of the Clearwater, Klamath-Siskiyou Wild, and Defenders of Wildlife are challenging the government's "not warranted" determination to list the wolverine.

Elusive Wolverine in Care at Wildlife Rescue One of nature's most elusive and legendary carnivores is recovering in a Burnaby wildlife rehabilitation centre following an operation, believed to be a Canadian first, to correct a contracted biceps tendon. A young male wolverine was found hiding under a stationery car in Port Moody. It took three SPCA officers to remove the animal and bring it in to the Wildlife Rescue Association of BC's (WRA) care centre on Burnaby Lake. Liz Thunstrom, Chair of the WRA Animal Care Committee and President of the Wildlife Rehabilitators Network of BC, says the wolverine was likely looking for a safe place to hide as they are seldom, if ever, found in built up areas.

Ken Macquisten, attending veterinarian, and local veterinarians from the Animal Critical Care Group volunteered their services to make the operation possible and numerous individuals were involved in finding resources and assisting the WRA in its decision making. The wolverine was sedated and examined at the Wildlife Rescue Association before it was returned to the wild. Macquisten was happy to see that the leg incision site had healed perfectly. The wolverine was released just outside the boundary of the Coquitlam Watershed. Three deer carcasses and several dead birds were also left as short-term food sources for the recovering wolverine. The wolverine has a well-deserved reputation as a tough character. This bulky carnivore that looks like a cross between a bear and badger can bring down much larger animals such as caribou. Wolverines have also been reported to fight off wolves and mountain lions for their carrion.

Their incredible power and nearly mythical ferocity allow wolverines to chase bears and wolves from their kills. Although they prefer to eat carrion (dead animals), wolverines are capable of killing animals much larger than themselves, including deer, elk and even moose bogged down in deep snow. Not befriending themselves to humans, wolverines have been known to follow trappers' lines eating bait and trapped animals. They will break into cabins to raid the cupboards, leaving distinctive weasel scent on everything they touch. Historically, wolverines were found throughout Saskatchewan. However, they did not cope well with the expansion of farms and towns, and are now only found in northern Saskatchewan forests.

Science First Michigan wolverine spotted in 200 years Last confirmed sightings were by fur traders in early 1800s Arnie Karr / DNR via AP Wildlife biologist Arnie Karr was able to photograph the wolverine, a member of the weasel family, as it ran out of the woods and across a field Tuesday. By David Runk DETROIT - A biologist has confirmed the sighting of a real Michigan wolverine, about 200 years after the species was last seen in the state that uses the small but ferocious animal as its unofficial nickname. Coyote hunters spotted a wolverine near Ubly, about 90 miles north of Detroit. Michigan Department of Natural Resources wildlife biologist Arnie Karr saw the forest predator Tuesday and snapped pictures of the animal as it ran out of the woods and across a field. The wolverine, a member of the weasel family that grows to about 25 pounds but is ferocious enough to fight off bears and wolves, once ranged across the northern and western United States. It is now limited mostly to northern Canada, Idaho and Alaska, with sightings in a few other states, but its last confirmed sightings in Michigan were by fur traders in the late 1700s and early 1800s. The appearance is "up there with having a caribou or a polar bear turn up," Department of Natural Resources spokesman Brad Wurfel said Wednesday. "It's unprecedented."

Location: Main Menu News Menu November 5, 2001 WOLVERINES TO BE CAPTURED ON CAMERA IN RED LAKE AREA TORONTO - The Ministry of Natural Resources (MNR) is set to start a second season of `camera trapping' wolverines, an elusive species at risk. MNR will partner with local trappers to `capture' photos of wolverines. The trappers provide the bait. "This program shows the innovative methods MNR is using to learn more about species at risk," said Natural Resources Minister John Snobelen. "The data gathered by this project will help us learn more about this animal." Last March and April, MNR Wildlife Assessment and Red Lake District staff set up 10 cameras at nine `camera-trap' sites, which had been baited with food. The cameras snapped photos of the animals that came to feed. Twelve wolverine photographs were obtained. Sample image: Click on image for an enlarged view. The wolverine is the largest member of the weasel family. It is a solitary, wide-ranging carnivore that can travel up to 50 kilometres in a single day. Ontario's population of wolverine is listed as special concern by the Committee on the Status of Endangered Wildlife in Canada (COSEWIC), which means it's sensitive to human activity or natural events. Photos of 11 other wildlife species were also taken, including lynx, marten, fisher, striped skunk, moose, black bear, varying (snowshoe) hare, red squirrel, northern flying squirrel, raven and gray jay.

The forest north of the 51st parallel in Ontario is currently one of the last extensive boreal wilderness areas in the world. It is roadless, and free from industrial disturbances, with natural disturbances such as fire, insect outbreaks, and wind throws dominant in shaping the region's forest ecology. It is also the last stronghold for several wildlife species that have all but disappeared. The Human Aspect Northern Ontario has a long history of human occupancy and is home today to 28 Cree and Ojibway communities, many of which are grappling with achieving a balance between pursuit of economic opportunities and maintenance of cultural and ecological integrity in traditional use areas. In order to forecast environmental impacts of proposed development activities in this pristine area, an adequate understanding of baseline ecological requirements and the effects of human activity on wildlife is needed. Threats With resource development options becoming increasingly limited in southern Ontario, forest products and mining companies are looking northward. Unlike the past when there were always "limitless" resources in the northlands, development is now encroaching on this last outpost of the northern boreal forest.

It was going to be worth a picture - until a picture of the honest-to-goodness real black bear, which somehow made it practically all the way to Mayfair Mall without a single other person seeing it, showed up on TV. The last time I can remember an animal with that sort of invisibility around here, Big Dog was still with the Bucks.

Join us on a snowshoe expedition, with an experienced carnivore researcher to witness this winter emergence of Glacier’s wildlife.

We’ll start in West Glacier with a slide show on forest carnivore natural histories, tracking methods and current research. Then we’ll head out on snowshoes into the Park’s wildlife rich Middle Fork of the Flathead River and take a three to four mile round trip scouting hike that is sure to challenge your nature detective skills.
