Hello everyone, damn it
is hot here again, well it's Tuesday again so that means it is
creature day and the creature of the day is the wolverine and not the
one that looks like Hugh Jackman but the one you can find in the
snowy forests of northern Canada, Russia and Europe.
This creature is the
size of a large dog but looks like a small bear, however, in fact it
is more closely related to a weasel. You may think it looks kinda
cute but don't be fooled by its size it's one of the fiercest
fighters on Earth. It is powerful enough to hunt and kill animals
much bigger than itself, such as reindeer and moose. It has massively
strong jaws and long sharp claws and it's not scared of anyone.
Wolverines aren't just
bold when it comes to what to hunt, they will alos fight other meat
eaters over a kill, taking on wolves and even polar bears.
The wolverine has some
nicknames such as glutton because when it finds food it stuffs
itself just in case it doesn't fine any more for a while. It is also
called skunk bear because it marks its territory with revolting
stinky liquid from glands near its tail.
Never heard "skunk bear" before, did know glutton. I wonder how Jackman eats?
ReplyDeleteInteresting post. I did not know anything about wolverines. You all have a good week.
ReplyDeleteThey are fearless, aggressive, and dangerous. I would give one wide berth! I thnik we may have them in the north in the US.
ReplyDeleteYou taught me something today I didn't know there was a real thing as a wolvering!!!!!!!!!!!!!
ReplyDeleteI think I'd rather meet Hugh Jackman as a wolverine. :-D
ReplyDeleteJo-Anne, I wanted to thank you for stopping by with condolences on my Nicki's passing. Your kindness is so deeply appreciated, and I know that anyone who shares their life with four-legged companions has been through this and understands.
My best to you and your family,
Kim
Funny, I've heard of Wolverines before (OK, yeah, the Hugh Jackman one) but I never knew anything about them. Obviously they're pretty fierce animals.
