For those of you not following the mammalwatching Facebook group then here is some incredible footage of a Wolverine taking on a Caribou. Holy crap! I will be a lot more nervous next time I am hiking in Wolverine country. Has anyone heard of any attacks on people?

In some areas wolverines specialize on hunting caribou/reindeer in winter. They’ve been known to take down moose, too. But I know of only one attack on a human and the animal was cornered: it sneaked into a hunter’s cabin and bit the hunter when he returned from the forest and opened the door.
