“If wolverines have a strategy it’s this: Go hard, and high and steep and never back down. Not even from the biggest grizzly and least of all from the mountain".........."Climb everything ..........…eat everybody, whether alive, dead or long dead---moose, mouse, fox, frog, it’s still warm heart or frozen bones,” writes Doug Chadwick in his book, “The Wolverine Way"............."And how great it is that a recent sighting of a breeding female Wolverine in Washington State indicates the species may be extending their range into the south Cascades"..........“This is showing that Wolverines are able to expand into more of their historic territory, unoccupied since the 1930s"............"Wolverines used to range along the Cascade Crest but today remain exceedingly rare, with perhaps just 25 animals in Washington and only about 250 to 300 in the entire Lower 48"..............."Pound for pound, they are North America's most ferocious carnivore, capable of sniffing out frozen carcasses and tunneling through feet of snow to crack open bones and tear apart even frozen carrion".......... "Their powerful jaws and molars are specially adapted to shear off chunks of rock-hard flesh and bone"............
