The term "Gulo gulo" refers to the scientific name for the wolverine, a robust and solitary carnivorous mammal found primarily in the northern regions of North America, Europe, and Asia. Wolverines are known for their strength and ferocity, despite their relatively small size, and they have thick fur that helps them survive in cold climates. Wolverines are part of the family Mustelidae, which also includes animals like weasels, otters, and badgers. They are skilled scavengers and hunters, often preying on small mammals and birds, and they are known for their ability to travel long distances in search of food.
