The wolverine spends most of its life alone, defending the borders of its territory from individuals of the same sex.

Wolverines make their lair under torn-out roots, in rock crevices and in other secluded spots.

Unlike most mustelids, who lead a settled lifestyle, wolverines constantly wander in search of prey on their individual plots of land occupying up to 1500-2000 square kilometers.

Thanks to strong paws and long claws, wolverines can easily climb trees.

The wolverine is omnivorous.

Wolverines catch a lot of hares, black grouse, hazel grouse, and small rodents.

There is evidence that at times large wolverines attack wolves.

Wolverines make up nature's clean-up crew, killing weak and sick animals.

The wolverine climbs trees no less skillfully than it moves on the ground.

A wolverine can kill prey that is five times its size, but only in rather deep snow where large animals get stuck.

Since the wolverine is a ferocious beast, even a bear that encounters a wolverine tries to avoid it.
