| The wolverine (Gulo gulo) earned its place in North American folklore long before north-country trappers and a few over-zealous naturalists began to spin tales of a beast of great ferocity, cunning, and extraordinary strength. Indian mythology describes the wolverine as a trickster-hero, and a link to the spirit world. Still, even today the wolverine remains largely a mystery. The Wolverine Foundation, Inc. (TWF) was formed in 1996 to promote interest in the wolverine's status and ecological role in the world wildlife community. It is a non-profit foundation comprised of leading wildlife scientists knowledgeable in the life history, ecology, and management of one of the least understood and most fascinating creatures on earth. TWF recognizes the need for a coordinated science-based effort to elevate the wolverine's management status through support and initiation of research, and to develop an information network for professional and public education. Our site provides wolverine life history sections for the professional through elementary level students. It provides links to current research, a comprehensive literature bibliography ...... and much more. Just follow the links on the left side of this page and please be sure to visit our Gift Shop and the "The Wolverine in Art" selection.
