Wolverines are small, muscular mammals known for their strength and tenacity. They belong to the family Mustelidae, which also includes weasels, otters, and badgers. Wolverines have thick fur, short legs, and a bushy tail, allowing them to thrive in cold, northern environments. They primarily inhabit remote areas of North America, Europe, and Asia. These animals are solitary and primarily nocturnal, often covering large territories in search of food. Wolverines are omnivorous, feeding on a variety of items, including small mammals, carrion, and berries. Their powerful jaws and sharp claws enable them to scavenge and hunt effectively in harsh conditions.
