Design
The wolverine is specifically designed for cold, snowy habitats. The wolverine is also designed with great strength, sharp claws, and fearlessness. If this animal were large, like a bear, it would be the strongest animal on earth. The wolverine’s aggression to other animals developed after the Fall; it was not part of its original nature.
Features
- With its long, dense, black fur and white stripes, the wolverine is sometimes referred to as the skunk bear, even though it is not a bear or a skunk.
- Females are smaller and lighter than males.
Fun Facts
- Larger animals, like the cougar, will back down from fighting a wolverine.
- No animal hunts the wolverine. Humans are its only enemy.
- The wolverine is usually terrestrial, but it can climb trees with considerable speed.
