Hunters find animal in Thumb, hundreds of miles from its range February 26, 2004 BY ERIC SHARP FREE PRESS OUTDOORS WRITER We're the Wolverine State. University of Michigan athletes are nicknamed Wolverines. And Ohio folks called us Wolverines during the Toledo War in 1835. But there never was a confirmed sighting of a wild wolverine in Michigan until Tuesday. NAME OUR WOLVERINE OK, so we finally have a wolverine sighting in Michigan. Hunters saw the animal this week in Huron County at the top of the Thumb. The state DNR was preparing a special order to protect the wolverine from hunting or harassment. Meanwhile, our wolverine needs a name. After all, we are the Wolverine State, right? Got an idea? Early suggestions included Bo, Lloyd and Sparty. You can probably do better. E-mail names to sports@freepress.com Include your name and hometown. We'll run our favorite suggestions later this week. "I couldn't believe it," said Wayne Steerzer, one of a group of hunters whose dogs ran a big wolverine for 18 miles in Huron County before treeing it. "It was so big and beautiful. And it was so graceful. It had moves like Barry Sanders."

Wandering Wolverines Little is known about wolverine populations in the Rocky Mountain region. The animals are rarely spotted and live in very remote areas. "Wilderness areas are probably more important for wolverines than most species, simply because the areas we choose for wilderness tend to define what we understand as wolverine habitiat," said Jeff Copeland, a wildlife biologist at the U.S. Forest Service's Rocky Mountain Research Station in Missoula, Montana. More prevalent in Alaska and the Canadian north, wolverines are found in isolated pockets of suitable habitat along the Rocky Mountain chain. "They've adapted to a lifestyle at population densities some people would think too low to for persistence," Copeland said. "In 500 square miles (1,295 square kilometers) you could expect to find six to ten wolverines. Few other species can persist at those densities." The paucity of wolverines makes their work a challenge. They spend four months each winter trapping wolverines. In three years, they've caught only 17 individuals. (The researchers have managed to recapture nearly all of the animals during that time, however.)

The inspiration behind the Canadian and United States national park systems can be found in the majestic mountain region that stretches from Yellowstone National Park, on the Wyoming-Montana border, to the Yukon Territory. Today, that region has also inspired some new ideas about wilderness protection. Some conservationists argue that the Rocky Mountain region represents one of Earth's last, best opportunities to preserve a complete mountain ecosystem. Groups like the Yellowstone to Yukon Conservation Initiative (Y2Y) say that realizing that vision, however, will require unconventional approaches outside the normal boundaries between nations, states, and protected areas. Y2Y is championing the creation of an enormous ecoregion stretching nearly 2,000 miles (3,200 kilometers) from Wyoming to the far north of Canada's Yukon Territory, just 37 miles (60 kilometers) shy of the Arctic Circle.

Population Status Habitat Features Local Importance Threats ... Management Distribution: Wolverine occur throughout the Yukon. They are widely distributed across the Yukon North Slope. Population size: The size or density of the wolverine population is unknown for the Yukon North Slope. However, in a relatively untrapped region of Alaska’s northwestern Arctic foothills, wolverine attained fall densities of 1.35-1.82/100 km . A population study of the Yukon North Slope was conducted in 1993/94. Population trend: Unknown. 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.

Why do species disappear? Historically, the main threats to native species in the Southern Rockies was direct persecution (e.g, shooting and poisoning) and over-hunting by settlers. Today, the main threats to native species is habitat loss and degradation due to development, dams and water pollution, recreation, logging, and grazing. Pressures on species are particularly acute in easily-damaged or biologically rich areas such as wetlands or stream corridors, or in rare landscapes such as low-elevation old-growth forests. Gone... forever? Several species have been extirpated from the Southern Rockies, which means that they are no longer found here but still exist elsewhere. Species extirpated from the Southern Rockies include important predators like the grizzly bear, gray wolf, wolverine, Canada lynx, black footed ferret, and river otter. Bison are also no longer found in the wild in the Southern Rockies. At least one species, the yellowfin cutthroat trout, is extinct which means it is gone from this planet entirely. Even species like Rocky Mountain elk and bighorn sheep were nearly wiped out by the early 1900's due to unregulated hunting. The gray wolf (Canis lupus) is listed as Endangered in Colorado, though wolves were eradicated from the Southern Rockies by 1935. The U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service has proposed to "down-list" the wolf to Threatened in the region, which affords lesser levels of protection than its current Endangered status. Many conservationists and scientists believe the wolf should be restored to the Southern Rockies.

If a Wolverine could make a wish, what would it wish for Christmas? A Wolverine Christmas Wish List! Protect my habitat. We wolverines cover huge areas – a typical home range for a male is 1500 km – and so we need big wilderness areas, such as the Bighorn and the Chinchaga, protected. We need more travel corridors. Wolverines, especially young ones, are great travelers. Movements up to 300 km are not uncommon, so well-managed corridors between protected areas allow us to move. Diverse landscapes . We eat all sorts of things, and so we need a range of habitats – mountains, forests, foothills – to live. Places that are good for food in the summer aren’t so good in the winter, so we need diverse areas protected to keep us year-round. Alberta Wilderness Association (AWA) is calling for more protection of Foothills and Boreal Forest habitats in Alberta. Less than 2% of our Foothills are protected. If we protect a variety of habitat, then we protect a variety of wildlife. Species such as wolverine need a diverse range of habitat features to survive in the long term.

Earthfire Institute WOLVERINE! ©By Susan B. Eirich, Ph.D. The name stirs images of the wild, the savage, the untamable. Elusive. Mysterious. And that restless, wild, elusive presence is moving into our valley -there have been sightings - first a female - then a male - or they may have been here all along and we never knew, a whole secret existence living, mating, hunting, playing, dying, unknown, hidden far away from the haunts of man..... A silent fleeting shadow at the corner of our eye, a movement sensed through thickly falling snow, a ghost not quite seen, perhaps a dream? Tribal peoples of the North believed wolverine were connected to the spirit world, able to pass messages between the living and the dead. Others spoke of the legendary "devil beast" of the tundra and Northern forest whose exploits were recounted and embellished in the flickering light of winter campfires - tales of traps repeatedly emptied, of an entire trap line carried off, of feats of prodigious strength, of unprovoked attacks, of cold-blooded killing, of a solitary wanderer of unbelievable ferocity when cornered, of a beast that succumbs to nothing... But there are other tantalizing images of the wolverine emerging from hard-won research: that of a snuffling, chuckling, playful, affectionate creature, intelligent and curious; of close bonds between mates, between mother and kits, between father and juveniles, intimations of helping one another in trouble.....a social aspect completely at odds with its reputation as a ferocious loner.

You are here: HOME Environment Local Wildlife Wolverine Wolverine Wolverine update, June 2004 - click here The tale of one of Port Moody's most unusual visitors ended happily on November 10, 2003, three weeks after it began in a carport on Clarke Road. A resident spotted what was believed to be a badger under a car, but after a quick assessment, it was determined the animal was a wolverine. One of nature's most elusive and legendary carnivores, the wolverine is blue listed in B.C. and is seldom, if ever, found in built up areas. Wolverines have been described as a cross between a badger and a bear and are capable of bringing down prey as large as a caribou. Port Moody's wolverine was eventually caught by three staff members from the SPCA who brought the 15.6kg (34lb) animal to the Wildlife Rescue Association of B.C. (WRA) on Burnaby Lake. Liz Thunstrom, Chair of the WRA Animal Care Committee, says the wolverine was likely looking for a safe place to hide. This was possibly the same one that had been spotted in North Vancouver over the summer. Swimming across Burrard Inlet would not have been a problem for the animal.

Finally, another squeeze, another plunge, a rough and rugged run through a water-carved canyon. So goes the changing course of the Kicking Horse River, fed by the upstream waters of the Yoho River and joined by the tributaries of the Emerald, the Amiskwi and the Ottertail. With its upper cascading waterfalls and meltwater beginnings, thickened with the fine-particle "rock flour" of glacier-scraped bedrock, the Kicking Horse River gradually settles into a more sedate "U-shaped" valley or "glacial trough." The flat valley bottom, with its steep side walls, was formed when ancient grinding glaciers crowded their way into existing river valleys.
