It's a bit different than the Australian wolverine a.k.a. Hugh Jackman. πŸ˜‰ If you haven't, you're probably wondering now. Turn your sound up to hear this animal's ferocious growls. πŸ”Š Wolverines, the largest land-dwelling species in the mustelid family, are famous for their tenacity β€” they've been known to prey on animals as big as moose. Yet their tenacity alone cannot save them from the threats they face including dwindling, unprotected habitat. Wolverines were protected as threatened under the Endangered Species Act in 2023, but still haven’t received protections for the places they live. That's why last week we sued the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service for failing to designate critical habitat for these carnivores. With around 300 individuals left in the lower 48 states, we must do all that we can to support their recovery. ⭐ FYI: The wildlife specialist seen in the video uses a stick to open the enclosure to release the wolverine and is NOT harming or harassing the animal. πŸ“Ή Washington Department of Fish and Wildlife [Video description: A close up of a wooden animal enclosure.
