Frequently Asked Questions

What are some of the questions that students typically ask. Include the answers.

Q: How should you respond if you encounter a wolverine?

A: Wolverines are 9-25 kg, max 32. They have been known to prey on animals as large as moose, but more often are carrion eaters. Don't disturb its kill. Give it a wide berth. If it's attacking you, presume it's prey behaviour and fight back.
