Wolverines are actually poor hunters. They can't kill moose etc. unless a lot of snow immobilizing big animal. When no or little snow wolverine has no chance whatsoever. And they don’t avoid areas with wolves, they follow wolfpacks to get to eat leftovers by wolves afters wolves have eaten and leave their kill. But wolverines avoid confrontations with lone wolves, wolfpacks, cougars and bears.
And wolverines are no threat to us people. If meeting one in the woods, it will flee from us humans. Only ignorant people think, that wolverine would be aggressive and attack.
@@BEASTERS it’s funny that that this animal is called wolverine but they resemble weasel family on earth there are weasel that eat cobras / rats / chickens/ predators / they are intelligent opportunist creatures my opinion the Wolverine is a weasel family weasel come in different sizes small medium large
Small animal mate against a bear, wolf or moose. But Anthony you & a Wolverine one out staring at each other from 6' away l guarantee small will not enter your mind. They are bigger than they look mate as are their weapons.
@@Breath-j8x First of all, don’t underestimate the power of a small animal! Just because they may be little doesn’t mean they don’t have big energy. And, if I’m staring down a wolverine, trust me, I wouldn’t be thinking about anything else but finding the nearest exit! Some battles just aren’t worth it. 😂 But keep it cute!
Absolutely my favorite animal. Indomitable spirit, relentless fight, and without surrender. Amazing creature with so many qualities we humans should be inspired by.
I love the Wolverine, but lm glad we haven't their ferociousness for the fight because we are ferocious enough. Some of there more nurturing qualities, courage and will to survive would be great. They are a beautiful animal as well.
have you tried my easy-peasy recipe for “Wolvevine”? Here’s how to whip it up: Wolvevine Recipe: Ingredients: 2 cups of wolfberries (goji berries) 1 cup of walnuts (for crunch) ½ cup of honey (for sweetness) 1 tsp of cinnamon (a little spice) Your favorite yogurt (for serving) Instructions: In a bowl, mix the wolfberries, walnuts, honey, and cinnamon until well combined. Let it sit for about 10 minutes to let the flavors mingle - maybe binge-watch a documentary during this time? Serve it over your favorite yogurt for a delightful treat! Voilà! A delicious, nutritious snack that won’t bite back. 🐺 Happy snacking, and let’s keep educating ourselves - the world is full of wonders just waiting to be explored! Cheers! 🍽📚
@@Breath-j8x Oh, absolutely! Because you know the world just isn’t fierce enough with all of us humans running around. Who needs that level of ferocity when we can just cuddle our way through life? I mean, who wouldn’t want to be a Wolverine? They’re just out there looking fabulous while we’re over here surviving on coffee and drama!
I saw a PBS documentary about wolverines and one film clip got my attention. A 40lb male wolverine stood still and stared down a full-grown Grizzly for several minutes, like, "Hey, you big, ugly SOB, you're on my turf!" The Grizzly backed off and walked away. I call that "badittude". Wolverines are awesome!
@@Michaelkaydee You said "Pound for Pound Honey badger just nicks it". Only on TH-cam. There is a strong mythology narrative regarding the honey badger which does not measure up where scientific facts are concerned. Not to take anything away from the honey badger. All mustelids defend like a real beast well above their weight class. The honey badger is the most popular mustelid defender due to how much film footage we have of it defending itself. It puts out a pungent skunk like stink along with a very aggressive defense that can often deter predators. They are too slow to flee so they defend aggressively because their backs are against the wall. However, what TH-cam does not show is that honey badgers are also often prey to Lions, Leopards, Hyenas, Wild Hunting Dogs, Crocodiles, Large Constrictor Snakes, and even Jackals. Some mustelids are also impressive predators well above their weight class. The best of them routinely prey on animals 10 to 20 times their size. These gangsters include some weasel species, ermines (stoats), as well as the strongest & most aggressive of the land mustelids - the wolverine. As predators go, honey badgers stick to the little things. Their bragging rights is their venom resistance so they can tackle cobras (who are pretty weak fighters when their venom advantage is taken away). Mongooses (unrelated) have cobra venom resistance on par if not even better than the honey badger. There are some song birds who can eat toxic berries that would body both honey badgers & mongooses so I don't really consider metabolic resistance as a measurement of physical prowess. By comparison - Wolverines have been documented preying on large deer species like Moose, Elk, Caribou, & Reindeer. As for preying on moose, it's not just the male wolverines, even the smaller female wolverines have slain moose. Keeping in mind how few wolverines are around - We have only 49 official reports of wolverines killing moose from 1957 - 2010. 16 of those cases are confirmed adult moose. The most impressive confirmed kill was an adult male moose weighing approximately 1,800 US lbs. That is beyond impressive when you consider that even a massive male grizzly bear will think twice and probably walk away rather than tackling a moose that size. When it comes to aggression - Wolverines have been documented challenging (seeking out and attacking - not defending) and driving away Polar Bears, Grizzly Bears, (& other Brown subspecies), Black Bears, Mountain Lions, Wolves, Lynxes, & Bobcats. There are also documents of wolverines being chased by these predators - so there is a back and forth happening. Wolverines will aggressively attack these predators over both territory & food resources. There are documented official reports of wolverines killing lynxes and bobcats - but not the bigger predators. Wolverines toughest animal challenge are packs of wolves. Wolf packs have killed more wolverines than bears & mountain lions combined. Lynxes and bobcats have never been reported being able to kill an adult wolverine. *NOTE: Even more insane (if true). Unsubstantiated = Take this information with a grain of salt.:* There have been 6 unofficial / unsubstantiated reports of wolverines killing polar bears and grizzly bears since 1917. Every case reports the same cause of death where the wolverine crushes the throat of the bear. Some of these reports came from hunters. However, some of these reports have been made by field researchers & rangers - those must hold some merit.
@@gustaafargoan Who has the higher endurance is a very conditional question. Humans are pretty high on the endurance list, but we are not at the highest. Humans are great at thermo-regulating our bodies which is a great advantage in the heat. That makes us great at long distance travel when we pace ourselves at slower speeds in hot climates. Take us to a cold area where heat regulation doesn't matter and we lose our thermo-regulating edge. We are outcompeted at both slow paced long travel and top speed running.
Had no idea they could release skunk like spray. Basically, they're the LAST THING any other predator would want to go after if they were desperate. It's like an organic chainsaw.
A wolverine is like a cross between a wildcat and a small bear. All teeth and claws. If a wolf had actually bitten, he would've lost his nose in the process.
@@robertfrost8536 Ma'am, please nock it off! This isn't a time to joke. You completely missed the entire dartboard with your video remark. We know your type--- and you're type are *everywhere.* Consider when your Biden took office, he raised the Federal Minimum wage $4.05 to $15.00 an hour through his executive order. This means theater workers 'DID' receive a raise. Not too long after, several deep blue states followed suit with their minimum wage requirements. We have been close to two years, for a few states, living under $15.00 minimum wage. California looked to punish Fast Food specifically by raising minimum wage, for fast food, to $20.00 an hour. Depending on what state someone was living in, their fast food experience may differ. Minimum wage in North Carolina, for example, is $7.25. You'll fakkkin' pay $15 for a bucket of theater movie popcorn to watch your "WOKE," (yet-to-be-released), Snow White? Imma-gonna-slappa-you! Mama Mia
My best friend had seen one when he was a child hunting with his Dad in Northern Idaho. It was quite a distance away. My friend said " What is that?" His Dad said " Shhh!, be quite and don't move. That's a Wolverine." He was clearly apprehensive. They remained quiet as the Wolverine moved through the area. It put quite an impression on my friend. He remembers it like it just happened. It was about five decades ago.
I once read about a man that raised two of these as pets. You could see pictures of his golden retriever frolicking in the snow with his wolverine play mates.
@@AlanMichaelJackson you really should watch some honey badger fights. They're just as bad ass, maybe more. A pride of lions is no match for one. I've seen them be in a lions mouth and do a 180 in their own skin and rip the lions face off. Dog walk a honey badger? You're speaking out of turn, I'm afraid.
The difference between a wolverine and a bear or wolf is that the wolverine isn't the one looking for a fight. It's just not afraid of one. In other words, seeing a wolverine from 100 yards away, all you need to do is not go towards it, but with one of the others, you need to hope it leaves you alone.
@whitewolf3014 wolves from the lower 48, I can see that being true. But wolves living in the Alaskan or Russian Tundra, or the Arctic Circle would be way more violent than the ones down here.
@@Bryan-ip1gf It's extremely rare for wolves to attack people even in the frozen north. Conditions have to be very bad and they need to be starving ...and Bears will usually only attack if they have cubs around or you stumble upon and surprise it (even grizzlies). The polar bear is only bear that usually kills everything on sight. Both wolves and bears will usually run away if they smell or hear you coming. A wolverine is much more likely to attack you if you came across it in the woods. They aren't afraid of your smell and might come to see if you are a food source
I read in Marvel's and Mysteries of Our Animal World thar the Cree call wolverines the earthly abode of the devil because of their understanding of man's ways. A lot of interesting stories on various animals in that book.
Wolverines are durable and courageous creatures. No doubt about that. They are one of the few creatures in the wild that possess the closest thing to what's referred to as gameness. Gameness is basically the determination to not give up even when faced with danger or a very challenging situation. It is a quality mostly found in and associated with catch and fighting dogs such as Pit Bulls that have been selectively bred for very dangerous and challenging tasks such as controlling bulls in bullfighting matches, holding down wild pigs for hunting, and fighting each other in dogfighting matches that can last longer than some movies. Wolverines are not exactly game, but they are the closest of any wild animal with the exception of honey badgers.
Wow the Wolverine is THAT Ferocious?!And ppl make fur coats out of them?!Thats sad and I didn’t know they can be able to hunt caribou.And large prey in general.Dang these guys r tough and determined to get their fill and only the moms raise their babies and can live up 17 years in captivity?Wow.Thanks for this video cuz I think I know more about them and like them more as an animal that they are.This was a good educated video.Thank u for teaching me about this amazing predator.
This video underrates how ferocious a wolverine can be. Wolverines have been documented hunting large deer species like Moose, Elk, Caribou, & Reindeer.

@@dunringill1747 Great comment. Someone here in the comment section called them chain saws. They certainly are. BTW "1800 US lbs" made me laugh. I'm a senior Canadian and still weigh things in pounds. I've managed to convert to Celsius for temperature and distance but I'm still stuck on American weights and measures. You didn't need to insert "US" between 1800 and lbs. Everyone knows it's US weight. 😊I'm just teasing you as Canadians love to do to Americans.🍁🦅🦫Have a great day.👋
Wolverines are bad asses. I was out on the plains with a compound bow. I was stalking Prong Horn which are good eatin' when suddenly a Badger stormed at me. I ran and so did he and he was nipping at my heels and there wasn't a damn thing I could do about it. The Badger was too close for me too shoot and too fast and agile for me to get away. My buddy's male German Short Haired Pointer saved me by attacking and diverting the Badgers attention. That was a trip.
Got to witness the speed of a wolverine 2 years back. Wasn't chasing it, but it ran out in front of me while i was on my atv, and it ran on the trail ahead of me for 1/4 of a mile.
I was chased by one on my dirt bike on the Timberline Trail near Taylor Park, Colorado in 1994. You don't get much of a look. You look forward and ride as fast as you can and pray not to crash!
Met one when I was around 3 turning 4. Smelled him before we met him, everyone thought it was a skunk. When he came out of the trees and up the trail. There were about 20 people scattering all at once. 😅😊
I was a lumberjack in the northern part of Québec near the James Baie region. I was working deep into the bush far from any civil area or complex. I saw a Cougar go by as I was entering the bush and I also saw a pack of wolves, they seemed to be fighting among themselves, I guess for the territory. There was a nice river going through the patch of land I was working on, it just seemed like a paradise for these animals. Then as I was walking up a trail I saw some animal tracks on the ground, funny track that were equally sided by side like as a rhythm and a crevasses in the hand or paw of the animal ( Wolverine tracks ). Then I got to my area of work and started to brush cut the land, and after 2 hours or so a Wolverine ran slowly, as in a relaxed state right by me about 5 feet away, just as if I did not exist, didn't even stop to look at me. I froze on the spot because never an animal had ever come close to me in all my years of work. But this one did it with such grace. Then after emptying my fuel tank I stopped to listen to the wolves and cougar fighting, but it was all over... My buddy who was working closer to the conflict told me that when the wolverine arrive, they all went away. The fight was over just by its presence. Then I told him that he, the wolverine had came just by me a few minute prior... Once out of the bush and on our way back to camp we met up with an old Native Trapper and we explained the events to him, and he suddenly looked at me and said... This wolverine had been watching you for hours and he knew that you were not a treat and this is the reason why you are still alive.... He said that when trappers see the traces of a wolverine, they usually move 16 trap land farther in order to avoid the Wolverine. I will never forget.
One trait that you fail to mention is that wolverines will carry a grudge! Piss one off and they will follow you for days or weeks to exact their revenge!
And to think that we humans are considered the top of the "food chain" ! After watching this I am sure that the Wolverine is one of the, IF not THE baddest ass animals on the planet ! Great job on this upload, very informative and tastefully done.....
I was born & raised in northern Minnesota. As a young man I spent countless hours, days, and weeks in the northern wilderness, camping, hunting, trapping, and fishing. I have only seen one wolverine, in the wild, in my life, and that was briefly. The wolverine’s steady lope in heavy snow is truly a sight to behold. The only way that I would ever even attempt to kill a wolverine, would be in self defense. To this day, at 65 years of age, the Wolverine is by far my favorite animal of all. Very elusive, independent, capable, fast, fearless, tireless, aggressive, and just an all around BAD-ASS. It is said that if you go out to hunt it, it will circle around behind, and hunt you. Buffalo, and Black Bears are my second, and third favorite animals. Eagles, and Loons are my favorite birds. Walleye, and Bluegills are my favorite fish.
It is the molar that is rotated 90 degrees rather than the carnassial. I guess the molar helps them break bones. I think there is less danger of injury in the mouth area near the molar that the 90 degree twist helps with.
Their one of the only animal able to live off bones for nutrients. A trapper back in the day wrote, during a bad winter a wolverines stomach sounds like a coin purse. Thats why their also called the glutton.
Interestingly, wolverines and honey badgers are actually not closely related at all, honey badgers are badgers, while the wolverine belongs to the family Ictonychidae, which more closely relates the wolverine to the zorillas, muishund, shulang, huro, grisons, tayra, martens, and fisher.
I agree with a provision: Both are related to the weasel family though they both belong within a subset of that family. The mustelidae (weasel family of creatures) "are broad and include species of otter, weasels, minks, ferrets, martens, and other species of badgers." - Naturenibble, May 2022. So in human terms they are cousins. Though there have been many long and emotion-filled forums regarding who would win in a battle between the two, the most reasonable one I have read (and choose to believe) is that the honey badger has the advantage overall. Though it would be a mighty and terrible battle.
@Rondo Hunter, actually, Mustelidae is polyphyletic, it now only includes the weasels, ferrets, and minks of the subfamily Mustelinae, whereas other taxa are completely removed from this family, which means that the skunks, stink badgers, badgers, otters, zorillas, muishund, shulang, huro, grisons, wolverine, tayra, and martens do not belong to Mustelidae anymore, skunks and stink badgers now belong to the family Mephitidae, badgers constitute the family Melidae, otters are reranked as a full family (Lutridae), and the zorillas, muishund, shulang, huro, grisons, wolverine, tayra, and martens all now belong to the family Ictonychidae.
@@indyreno2933 You do know much more detail about the species listed than I. What I thought I knew they changed it all without my permission. Lol! Thanks for the lesson.
Lots of pretentious mumbo jumbo..get my name published in scientific papers by compartmentalizing obvious relatives as very distant if not unrelated..only to change back to the simple truth years later...they are weasel period
Montana hiker & a mountaineer, I've seen Grizzly (IN THE WILD) 9 different times. Three black bears THIS hunting season. More moose & elk than I could recall, but I have NEVER seen a wolverine. It's very elusive, but some day. Thanks for the vid!
I've seen them in my small corner of Alaska quite a few times when hunting, or working remote (when I was young). On one spring grouse hunt we had one following us a few hundred yards back. We'd bust a bird, brake it down to breast and legs, and move on...... Then the wolverine would bounce over and poach the gut pile. He never got near us, but would wait until we started off again happy as a lark. They bounce like there are springs in their feet when they are in a loping pace. A bit like Pepe Le Pew.
@Patriottoo2 Thanks, that's encouraging. Methods I suppose & wolverines aren't really my goal. I stumble ahead. Don't glass, call or scent & baiting for hunting purposes is illegal & mechanical advantage isn't allowed. Often bring a novice & unintentional handicap is we suck at discreet. Great fun & bring boots.
Correction: wolverines do not really have predators. Wolverines can even kill larger carnivores such as lynx, wolf, coyote, black bear, and polar bear, and can even dominate cougars. If they cannot dominate or overpower, they can spray it with its nasty spray that can cause blindness. Their fur is actually very tough, that no penetration can harm them, not even the strong blow of a machete nor even porcupine quills. They can even scoop the porcupine's belly like scooping a ripe melon. Their neck ruff is loose that enables them to turn around and bite back when bitten.
You are posting fanboy nonsense. There are documented cases of predators killing wolverines. Wolverines are known for their strength and ferocity, but they do have predators. These include black bears, brown bears, wolves, golden eagles, cougars (mountain lions), and humans. In 2003, researchers at the Wildlife Conservation Society discovered a dead wolverine body with clear evidence that it had been killed by a bear. The encounter occurred when the wolverine tried to drag an elk carcass away from the bear, which resulted in the wolverine’s death. Scientists have also recorded a few cases of brown bears encountering, killing, and consuming wolverines. However, one almost 50-year-long study in Mount McKinley National Park discovered that wolverines typically avoid grizzly bears since they may not be agile enough to escape bear attacks. Cougars, also known as mountain lions, are other wolverine predators found throughout the Americas. Scientists have noted that cougars will occasionally kill wolverines, mostly at interactions around carcasses. These predators might not hunt wolverines regularly due to the wolverines’ ferocious nature but are all capable of killing them. thedailywildlife.com/wolverine-predators/
There is a video of two young lions harassing a badger , sticking thier arms down into his hole. There was an escape hole and the badger flies out and ripped off one of the lions reproduction organs. He laid there a short while and died. Thier is a very old video in black and white on youtube of a Wolverine fighting a huge bear. The bear looks to weigh about 6-800 lbs. It cannot kill the badger by biting or stomping on it, sustains alot of damage to the bears face and he basically has to run away. I know it sounds ridiculous but that's what happens on these videos. Badgers and wolverines can be prey to these animals but they also can be badly injured. There is a video of a wolf here on TH-cam fighting a wolf , and it's a complete stalemate. Animals avoid badgers and wolverines unless thier starving.
Unfortunately, habitat loss is the enemy of all animals! I learned alot in this video. When I was a kid my dad and I saw one coming toward us on a trail, he was ugly mad, we moved off the trail! He never varied, and went on his way. Not a beast to mess with!👍
You get a wolverine from a litter with it just opening up.the e4yes you give them love and food you have a family pet and the best security in your house!
Interesting and well presented . I have never seen a wolverine, not surpringly as I live in Africa, but have seen honey badgers on occasion. I knew the two were related but the similariry is strong - the wolverine is larger, but both are formidable.

Wolverine wont survive a honey badger... Honey badger skin is built for war it doesnt matter if wolverine is bigger... One bite to a honey badger is nothing one bite from a honey badger is a mess
@@-xm6qj Yeah, the honey badger's thick, loose skin make it difficult for it to be injured. Most people may have seen the photo of a honey badger covered with porcupine quills, basically unfazed.
I was posed the question not long ago, that if reincarnation was real, and I had to come back as an animal, what would I choose? As solitary as they are, that's the only drawback I can think of, but my answer would definitely be a wolverine.
I came across a Wolverine on a hike once, he/she was carrying a dead marmot. Gave it the space it wanted to go its own way. Wish I had a better lens as I did not want to get any closer than I was for a picture.
I’ve hiked and hunted all over Alaska. I’ve only come across 2 Wolverines in 30+ years. They are instantly nasty, saying just walk away and they won’t mess with you.
@@gene081976 I forgot about the moose breed that has a poisonous bite. I can’t believe that a Wolverine, that lives in super cold climate isn’t venom proof. There are so many animals that live in the snow that have poisonous bites or venom. Great point!

@BEASTERS thanks for that. The first time I saw any references to the honey badger was in the movie The God's Must Be Crazy, a charming tale of the African bush
I think wolverines are amazing. I never tire of learning about any animal, learning about about the unique characters. These guys are survivors and are not afraid to get what they and their families need. People have often judged what animals they feel deserve to live or be wiped out. The wolverine has always got a bad rap😢As many animals have, such as crows , badgers, raccoons, vultures, condors, hyenas and many more. They are all important in the chain of life on this earth, holding a special position. Humans have messed up over and over when they decide what species is acceptable and who are not. All species are important for the ballance of nature; the way our Creature and Saviour designed this world. He designed it to have perfect ballance. We have messed it up so much that I read a few years ago that in just a ten year period 70% of the worlds insects were gone. They are going extinct at such a fast rate. Animals are going extinct every year. Some animals, they say like amphibians or reptiles, even little mammals are going extinct even before they have been discovered. Or they're finally discovered, just as they go extinct. It is very sad and shows how poorly humans have managed this earth they were given. Most often things have gone wrong because of greed They knew fossil fuels had to go back in thd "80s". They knew that switch to wind, and water ect power sources was needed. Yet to this day they stay with fossil fuel because greed, of money and power. I remember as a very young child, trucks going up and down streets blowing poison into our air to kill off mosquitoes. That is the main food sourse for bats and some birds as well as many amphibians. In their ignorance they were killing off the main food sourse for animals and caused many a decline or extinction of many, as well as poisoning us, as we would stand and watch. I remember how bad it smelled and how sick I would feel after breathing it in the summer evenings. The amount of poisonous chemicals and pesticides, chemicals in plastics we had and have in our bodies has caused many cancers deseases, and neurological conditions as well as alzheimer's. I am so happy I moved from the USA in March 1990. And we have lived and raiseg our family in a land free of most of the crap and I and my husband are healthy. Though there are still stupid things done here as well. They don't fill their cattle with hormones and antibiotics. The animals are free from that, including the chicken and duck and pigs. In fact for your beef, you can track down who raised the beef. And each one is tested before the meat is sold. I think it is too late to fix this world. I thank God He, Jesus, is coming soon for His people. Sadly things are going to get really bad before our Lord will make all things new. He has to. Humans have messed up in so many physical and spiritual ways. I know I have gone down a rabbits hole from speaking of the amazing wolverine. I am so happy they are still around! Thank God!

@@BEASTERS it’s funny that that this animal is called wolverine but they resemble weasel family on earth there are weasel that eat cobras / rats / chickens/ predators / they are intelligent opportunist creatures my opinion the Wolverine is a weasel family weasel come in different sizes small medium large
This small animal has absolutely no fear. The mountain lion saw him coming and started retreating like he wanted no part of a battle with this animal.
honey badger walk in to pride of lion kingdom like he dosen't care shit 😂
Wolverines are typically not aggressive unless provoked. Remaining calm can help prevent the situation
Small animal mate against a bear, wolf or moose. But Anthony you & a Wolverine one out staring at each other from 6' away l guarantee small will not enter your mind. They are bigger than they look mate as are their weapons.
@@Breath-j8x First of all, don’t underestimate the power of a small animal! Just because they may be little doesn’t mean they don’t have big energy. And, if I’m staring down a wolverine, trust me, I wouldn’t be thinking about anything else but finding the nearest exit! Some battles just aren’t worth it. 😂 But keep it cute!
Absolutely my favorite animal. Indomitable spirit, relentless fight, and without surrender. Amazing creature with so many qualities we humans should be inspired by.
It is not legal to keep wild animals as pets.
Totally agree flushNY. Humans can learn alot from these characters
I love the Wolverine, but lm glad we haven't their ferociousness for the fight because we are ferocious enough. Some of there more nurturing qualities, courage and will to survive would be great. They are a beautiful animal as well.

Best short documentary on Wolverines I’ve seen. They’re my favorite mustelids. The only thing missing were bear interactions.
Thank you for that
Do not try to get closer for a better look or to take a photo. Wolverines can be unpredictable and may see you as a threat.
I saw a PBS documentary about wolverines and one film clip got my attention. A 40lb male wolverine stood still and stared down a full-grown Grizzly for several minutes, like, "Hey, you big, ugly SOB, you're on my turf!" The Grizzly backed off and walked away. I call that "badittude". Wolverines are awesome!
@@deedeskin2439 i love wolves more
You wonder how these cute animals can be so ferocious.
Yo, obviously you haven't had kids 😁
Hey there, fellow philosopher! 🌟
Pound for pound....
The most vicious animal on the planet with an unparalleled amount of endurance and an extremely high level of athleticism.
Pound for Pound Honey badger just nicks it
@@Michaelkaydeehoney badger right there but by little under the wolverine
@@Michaelkaydee You said "Pound for Pound Honey badger just nicks it". Only on TH-cam. There is a strong mythology narrative regarding the honey badger which does not measure up where scientific facts are concerned.
Not to take anything away from the honey badger. All mustelids defend like a real beast well above their weight class. The honey badger is the most popular mustelid defender due to how much film footage we have of it defending itself. It puts out a pungent skunk like stink along with a very aggressive defense that can often deter predators. They are too slow to flee so they defend aggressively because their backs are against the wall.
However, what TH-cam does not show is that honey badgers are also often prey to Lions, Leopards, Hyenas, Wild Hunting Dogs, Crocodiles, Large Constrictor Snakes, and even Jackals.
Some mustelids are also impressive predators well above their weight class. The best of them routinely prey on animals 10 to 20 times their size. These gangsters include some weasel species, ermines (stoats), as well as the strongest & most aggressive of the land mustelids - the wolverine.
As predators go, honey badgers stick to the little things. Their bragging rights is their venom resistance so they can tackle cobras (who are pretty weak fighters when their venom advantage is taken away). Mongooses (unrelated) have cobra venom resistance on par if not even better than the honey badger. There are some song birds who can eat toxic berries that would body both honey badgers & mongooses so I don't really consider metabolic resistance as a measurement of physical prowess.
By comparison - Wolverines have been documented preying on large deer species like Moose, Elk, Caribou, & Reindeer.
As for preying on moose, it's not just the male wolverines, even the smaller female wolverines have slain moose. Keeping in mind how few wolverines are around - We have only 49 official reports of wolverines killing moose from 1957 - 2010. 16 of those cases are confirmed adult moose.
The most impressive confirmed kill was an adult male moose weighing approximately 1,800 US lbs. That is beyond impressive when you consider that even a massive male grizzly bear will think twice and probably walk away rather than tackling a moose that size.
When it comes to aggression - Wolverines have been documented challenging (seeking out and attacking - not defending) and driving away Polar Bears, Grizzly Bears, (& other Brown subspecies), Black Bears, Mountain Lions, Wolves, Lynxes, & Bobcats. There are also documents of wolverines being chased by these predators - so there is a back and forth happening.
Wolverines will aggressively attack these predators over both territory & food resources. There are documented official reports of wolverines killing lynxes and bobcats - but not the bigger predators.
Wolverines toughest animal challenge are packs of wolves. Wolf packs have killed more wolverines than bears & mountain lions combined. Lynxes and bobcats have never been reported being able to kill an adult wolverine.
*NOTE: Even more insane (if true). Unsubstantiated = Take this information with a grain of salt.:*
There have been 6 unofficial / unsubstantiated reports of wolverines killing polar bears and grizzly bears since 1917. Every case reports the same cause of death where the wolverine crushes the throat of the bear. Some of these reports came from hunters. However, some of these reports have been made by field researchers & rangers - those must hold some merit.
Humans have higher endurance.
@@gustaafargoan Who has the higher endurance is a very conditional question.
Humans are pretty high on the endurance list, but we are not at the highest. Humans are great at thermo-regulating our bodies which is a great advantage in the heat. That makes us great at long distance travel when we pace ourselves at slower speeds in hot climates.
Take us to a cold area where heat regulation doesn't matter and we lose our thermo-regulating edge. We are outcompeted at both slow paced long travel and top speed running.
Had no idea they could release skunk like spray. Basically, they're the LAST THING any other predator would want to go after if they were desperate. It's like an organic chainsaw.
Organic chainsaw 😁 or meat chainsaw would of sufficed 👍
A wolverine is like a cross between a wildcat and a small bear. All teeth and claws. If a wolf had actually bitten, he would've lost his nose in the process.
Wolverines are the toughest animals for their size. It's hard to rip into their flesh. No bear or wildcat has such toughness or courage.

Small critter,big critter brown bear wins ,
My best friend had seen one when he was a child hunting with his Dad in Northern Idaho. It was quite a distance away. My friend said " What is that?" His Dad said " Shhh!, be quite and don't move. That's a Wolverine." He was clearly apprehensive. They remained quiet as the Wolverine moved through the area. It put quite an impression on my friend. He remembers it like it just happened. It was about five decades ago.
Nothing but admiration for this wonderful creature!
I once read about a man that raised two of these as pets. You could see pictures of his golden retriever frolicking in the snow with his wolverine play mates.
A wolverine would dog walk a honey badger. It's a mini grizzly.
Umm No. Just.... no. Mnh mnh. You need to learn the honey badger... "dog walk" a badger?😂 Maybe Thanos ... and even then he'd struggle
You trippin
The mountain lion, wolf, and bear are predators of the wolverine.
@@AlanMichaelJackson you really should watch some honey badger fights. They're just as bad ass, maybe more. A pride of lions is no match for one. I've seen them be in a lions mouth and do a 180 in their own skin and rip the lions face off. Dog walk a honey badger? You're speaking out of turn, I'm afraid.
@@Michaelkaydee um... wolverine is a badger.
Wolverine is a bigger and tougher badger than a honey badger
The difference between a wolverine and a bear or wolf is that the wolverine isn't the one looking for a fight. It's just not afraid of one. In other words, seeing a wolverine from 100 yards away, all you need to do is not go towards it, but with one of the others, you need to hope it leaves you alone.
Wolf won't mess with you.... they are far to wary and intelligent... bear def will pick a fight...
@whitewolf3014 wolves from the lower 48, I can see that being true. But wolves living in the Alaskan or Russian Tundra, or the Arctic Circle would be way more violent than the ones down here.
@@Bryan-ip1gf It's extremely rare for wolves to attack people even in the frozen north. Conditions have to be very bad and they need to be starving
...and Bears will usually only attack if they have cubs around or you stumble upon and surprise it (even grizzlies). The polar bear is only bear that usually kills everything on sight.
Both wolves and bears will usually run away if they smell or hear you coming.
A wolverine is much more likely to attack you if you came across it in the woods. They aren't afraid of your smell and might come to see if you are a food source
I admire everything about the Wolverine.
I read in Marvel's and Mysteries of Our Animal World thar the Cree call wolverines the earthly abode of the devil because of their understanding of man's ways. A lot of interesting stories on various animals in that book.
Wolverines are durable and courageous creatures. No doubt about that. They are one of the few creatures in the wild that possess the closest thing to what's referred to as gameness. Gameness is basically the determination to not give up even when faced with danger or a very challenging situation. It is a quality mostly found in and associated with catch and fighting dogs such as Pit Bulls that have been selectively bred for very dangerous and challenging tasks such as controlling bulls in bullfighting matches, holding down wild pigs for hunting, and fighting each other in dogfighting matches that can last longer than some movies. Wolverines are not exactly game, but they are the closest of any wild animal with the exception of honey badgers.
The wolverine looks exactly like the combination of A Wolf and a Bear
I love them. Their attitude is praiseworthy. I value their audacity.
Wow the Wolverine is THAT Ferocious?!And ppl make fur coats out of them?!Thats sad and I didn’t know they can be able to hunt caribou.And large prey in general.Dang these guys r tough and determined to get their fill and only the moms raise their babies and can live up 17 years in captivity?Wow.Thanks for this video cuz I think I know more about them and like them more as an animal that they are.This was a good educated video.Thank u for teaching me about this amazing predator.
Glad you liked it!

@@dunringill1747 Great comment. Someone here in the comment section called them chain saws. They certainly are. BTW "1800 US lbs" made me laugh. I'm a senior Canadian and still weigh things in pounds. I've managed to convert to Celsius for temperature and distance but I'm still stuck on American weights and measures. You didn't need to insert "US" between 1800 and lbs. Everyone knows it's US weight. 😊I'm just teasing you as Canadians love to do to Americans.🍁🦅🦫Have a great day.👋
@@curiouscanuck Haha, gotcha .. no more US before lbs. Hey, thanks for reading and the reply. Back at you - have a great day! 👍
Wolverines are why Grizzly bears decided it was Ok to eat Honey and Berries. As long as they were in the opposite direction of the Wolverine.😂
Wolverines are bad asses. I was out on the plains with a compound bow. I was stalking Prong Horn which are good eatin' when suddenly a Badger stormed at me. I ran and so did he and he was nipping at my heels and there wasn't a damn thing I could do about it. The Badger was too close for me too shoot and too fast and agile for me to get away. My buddy's male German Short Haired Pointer saved me by attacking and diverting the Badgers attention. That was a trip.
Badger is to Wolverine as Northern Pike is to Muskellunge. A side-arm would be prudent for bow-hunting in the high timber.
Wolverines don't hunt or hang out on the plains, they are high mountain creatures that live mostly around the tree line zone.
Love these tough guys/girls so much I wish I had one to protect me and my home.
Got to witness the speed of a wolverine 2 years back. Wasn't chasing it, but it ran out in front of me while i was on my atv, and it ran on the trail ahead of me for 1/4 of a mile.
Incredible creature..One of the most independent and powerful creatures Mother Nature has ever created…!

' WOLVERINE"
PHANTOM OF THE NORTH WOODS ! Great Doc !❤
I'm glad I'll likely never come across one a wolverine. Just imagine if these were as common as a neighborhood possum.
I've seen a wolverine once in my life as an Alaskan. He was beautiful!
Stunning visuals! The footage really makes you appreciate the talent behind the scenes.
Wolverine and honey badger. 2 of my favourite animals.
One night I saw one of these. It was walking along like it had somewhere to be. I stood still till it was gone.
Love Wolverines! Thanks.
You bet!
I always likened a wolverine to a nasty cross between a bear and a bobcat, lol...
Met one when I was around 3 turning 4. Smelled him before we met him, everyone thought it was a skunk. When he came out of the trees and up the trail. There were about 20 people scattering all at once. 😅😊
I was a lumberjack in the northern part of Québec near the James Baie region. I was working deep into the bush far from any civil area or complex. I saw a Cougar go by as I was entering the bush and I also saw a pack of wolves, they seemed to be fighting among themselves, I guess for the territory. There was a nice river going through the patch of land I was working on, it just seemed like a paradise for these animals. Then as I was walking up a trail I saw some animal tracks on the ground, funny track that were equally sided by side like as a rhythm and a crevasses in the hand or paw of the animal ( Wolverine tracks ). Then I got to my area of work and started to brush cut the land, and after 2 hours or so a Wolverine ran slowly, as in a relaxed state right by me about 5 feet away, just as if I did not exist, didn't even stop to look at me. I froze on the spot because never an animal had ever come close to me in all my years of work. But this one did it with such grace. Then after emptying my fuel tank I stopped to listen to the wolves and cougar fighting, but it was all over... My buddy who was working closer to the conflict told me that when the wolverine arrive, they all went away. The fight was over just by its presence. Then I told him that he, the wolverine had came just by me a few minute prior... Once out of the bush and on our way back to camp we met up with an old Native Trapper and we explained the events to him, and he suddenly looked at me and said... This wolverine had been watching you for hours and he knew that you were not a treat and this is the reason why you are still alive.... He said that when trappers see the traces of a wolverine, they usually move 16 trap land farther in order to avoid the Wolverine. I will never forget.
Well that was Interesting!!!
A study in Canada found that wolverines were using mining roads to roam in their hunting, something that was not expected.
One trait that you fail to mention is that wolverines will carry a grudge! Piss one off and they will follow you for days or weeks to exact their revenge!
My fav. Critter on the face of the planet. ❤❤ The Mighty Wolverine. My Spirit Animal. ❤❤
And to think that we humans are considered the top of the "food chain" !
After watching this I am sure that the Wolverine is one of the, IF not THE baddest ass animals on the planet !
Great job on this upload, very informative and tastefully done.....

Wolverines will fight animals 3 times their size. Honey badgers will fight animals 10 times their size.

Wolverines are great until they eat your nose off.
I Love the Wolverine. It reminds me of my brothers. Stay safe.
Nature's ultimate warrior the Wolverine!
I was born & raised in northern Minnesota. As a young man I spent countless hours, days, and weeks in the northern wilderness, camping, hunting, trapping, and fishing. I have only seen one wolverine, in the wild, in my life, and that was briefly. The wolverine’s steady lope in heavy snow is truly a sight to behold. The only way that I would ever even attempt to kill a wolverine, would be in self defense. To this day, at 65 years of age, the Wolverine is by far my favorite animal of all. Very elusive, independent, capable, fast, fearless, tireless, aggressive, and just an all around BAD-ASS. It is said that if you go out to hunt it, it will circle around behind, and hunt you. Buffalo, and Black Bears are my second, and third favorite animals. Eagles, and Loons are my favorite birds. Walleye, and Bluegills are my favorite fish.
Lions, tigers, bears, and wolverines oh my!
Wonder if you you know, how they live in tokyo
Awesome video, right up to the "I hate being the apex predator" part. Nice Ron White impression when you did it, though.
I like how they named it after that comic book guy
Lol
This Wolverine is a VERY VERY Mean and tough actor✝️♥️😊
Right on! Thanks for creating and sharing
You're welcome!
Everything about them are a miniature grizzly 😮😊
It is the molar that is rotated 90 degrees rather than the carnassial. I guess the molar helps them break bones. I think there is less danger of injury in the mouth area near the molar that the 90 degree twist helps with.
Their one of the only animal able to live off bones for nutrients. A trapper back in the day wrote, during a bad winter a wolverines stomach sounds like a coin purse. Thats why their also called the glutton.
Nah they many animals that do that!! Lol. I love the utube! All kinds of facts writers!!
These guys are amazing! Why you think “Wolverine” was made with his powers?
Loved the video . Ferocious animal indeed.
HE has My Respect!!!!
Interestingly, wolverines and honey badgers are actually not closely related at all, honey badgers are badgers, while the wolverine belongs to the family Ictonychidae, which more closely relates the wolverine to the zorillas, muishund, shulang, huro, grisons, tayra, martens, and fisher.
I agree with a provision: Both are related to the weasel family though they both belong within a subset of that family. The mustelidae (weasel family of creatures) "are broad and include species of otter, weasels, minks, ferrets, martens, and other species of badgers." - Naturenibble, May 2022. So in human terms they are cousins. Though there have been many long and emotion-filled forums regarding who would win in a battle between the two, the most reasonable one I have read (and choose to believe) is that the honey badger has the advantage overall. Though it would be a mighty and terrible battle.
@Rondo Hunter, actually, Mustelidae is polyphyletic, it now only includes the weasels, ferrets, and minks of the subfamily Mustelinae, whereas other taxa are completely removed from this family, which means that the skunks, stink badgers, badgers, otters, zorillas, muishund, shulang, huro, grisons, wolverine, tayra, and martens do not belong to Mustelidae anymore, skunks and stink badgers now belong to the family Mephitidae, badgers constitute the family Melidae, otters are reranked as a full family (Lutridae), and the zorillas, muishund, shulang, huro, grisons, wolverine, tayra, and martens all now belong to the family Ictonychidae.
@@indyreno2933 You do know much more detail about the species listed than I. What I thought I knew they changed it all without my permission. Lol! Thanks for the lesson.
Lots of pretentious mumbo jumbo..get my name published in scientific papers by compartmentalizing obvious relatives as very distant if not unrelated..only to change back to the simple truth years later...they are weasel period
@randallECTRIC, actually, they are not weasels, the Haida Ermine (Leucictis haidarum), Alaskan Weasel (Neogale eskimo), American Ermine (Neogale richardsonii), American Little Weasel (Neogale allegheniensis), Long-Tailed Weasel (Neogale frenata), Colombian Weasel (Neogale felipei), Amazon Weasel (Neogale africana), Siberian Weasel (Kolonocus sibiricus), Japanese Weasel (Kolonocus itatsi), Chinese Mountain Weasel (Oreogale altaica), Vietnamese Mountain Weasel (Oreogale tonkinensis), Indonesian Mountain Weasel (Oreogale lutreolina), Yellow-Bellied Weasel (Flavogaster kathiah), Black-Striped Weasel (Cryptogale strigidorsa), Bare-Footed Weasel (Pocockicitis nudipes), White-Headed Weasel (Pocockicitis leucocephalus), Least Weasel (Mustela nivalis), Stoat (Mustela erminea), Missing-Toothed Pygmy Weasel (Mustela astoodonnivalis), Sichuan Weasel (Mustela russelliana), Mediterranean Weasel (Mustela numidica), Egyptian Weasel (Mustela subpalmata), Algerian Weasel (Mustela algeriensis), and Morocco Weasel (Mustela moroccana) are all the only true weasels.
They make the most cuddly house pets.
World Record size male wolverines have reached a weight of 75 lbs.
That's a big one!
I heard about this animal, but never saw one. Thanks for this video.
pfft nothing in this documentary that talks about adamantium?
This is what happens when you do not do proper research! You miss important things!
Montana hiker & a mountaineer, I've seen Grizzly (IN THE WILD) 9 different times. Three black bears THIS hunting season. More moose & elk than I could recall, but I have NEVER seen a wolverine. It's very elusive, but some day. Thanks for the vid!
I've seen them in my small corner of Alaska quite a few times when hunting, or working remote (when I was young).
On one spring grouse hunt we had one following us a few hundred yards back. We'd bust a bird, brake it down to breast and legs, and move on...... Then the wolverine would bounce over and poach the gut pile. He never got near us, but would wait until we started off again happy as a lark.
They bounce like there are springs in their feet when they are in a loping pace. A bit like Pepe Le Pew.
I was lucky enough to see one on my first ever trip to North America last week, on Mount Rainier in Washington, couldn't believe my eyes!
Also a hiker in Montana. I've seen a wolverine, during summer months, each of the last four years, but not yet this year (2023).
@Patriottoo2 Thanks, that's encouraging. Methods I suppose & wolverines aren't really my goal. I stumble ahead. Don't glass, call or scent & baiting for hunting purposes is illegal & mechanical advantage isn't allowed. Often bring a novice & unintentional handicap is we suck at discreet. Great fun & bring boots.
Correction: wolverines do not really have predators. Wolverines can even kill larger carnivores such as lynx, wolf, coyote, black bear, and polar bear, and can even dominate cougars.
If they cannot dominate or overpower, they can spray it with its nasty spray that can cause blindness. Their fur is actually very tough, that no penetration can harm them, not even the strong blow of a machete nor even porcupine quills. They can even scoop the porcupine's belly like scooping a ripe melon. Their neck ruff is loose that enables them to turn around and bite back when bitten.
You are posting fanboy nonsense.
There are documented cases of predators killing wolverines. Wolverines are known for their strength and ferocity, but they do have predators. These include black bears, brown bears, wolves, golden eagles, cougars (mountain lions), and humans.
In 2003, researchers at the Wildlife Conservation Society discovered a dead wolverine body with clear evidence that it had been killed by a bear. The encounter occurred when the wolverine tried to drag an elk carcass away from the bear, which resulted in the wolverine’s death.
Scientists have also recorded a few cases of brown bears encountering, killing, and consuming wolverines. However, one almost 50-year-long study in Mount McKinley National Park discovered that wolverines typically avoid grizzly bears since they may not be agile enough to escape bear attacks.
Cougars, also known as mountain lions, are other wolverine predators found throughout the Americas. Scientists have noted that cougars will occasionally kill wolverines, mostly at interactions around carcasses.
These predators might not hunt wolverines regularly due to the wolverines’ ferocious nature but are all capable of killing them.

@@HotasLAnd,,,there's no way a wolverine can kill a polar bear
@@curtriedel5036 I agree.
There is a video of two young lions harassing a badger , sticking thier arms down into his hole.
There was an escape hole and the badger flies out and ripped off one of the lions reproduction organs. He laid there a short while and died.
Thier is a very old video in black and white on youtube of a Wolverine fighting a huge bear. The bear looks to weigh about 6-800 lbs. It cannot kill the badger by biting or stomping on it, sustains alot of damage to the bears face and he basically has to run away.
I know it sounds ridiculous but that's what happens on these videos.
Badgers and wolverines can be prey to these animals but they also can be badly injured. There is a video of a wolf here on TH-cam fighting a wolf , and it's a complete stalemate. Animals avoid badgers and wolverines unless thier starving.
It's not the size of the dog in the fight, but the fight in the dog mark twain
Unfortunately, habitat loss is the enemy of all animals! I learned alot in this video. When I was a kid my dad and I saw one coming toward us on a trail, he was ugly mad, we moved off the trail! He never varied, and went on his way. Not a beast to mess with!👍
You get a wolverine from a litter with it just opening up.the e4yes you give them love and food you have a family pet and the best security in your house!
Interesting and well presented . I have never seen a wolverine, not surpringly as I live in Africa, but have seen honey badgers on occasion. I knew the two were related but the similariry is strong - the wolverine is larger, but both are formidable.

I was posed the question not long ago, that if reincarnation was real, and I had to come back as an animal, what would I choose? As solitary as they are, that's the only drawback I can think of, but my answer would definitely be a wolverine.
The Shrew is the most ferocious animal on Earth, pound for pound.
Aww there kind of cute
I came across a Wolverine on a hike once, he/she was carrying a dead marmot. Gave it the space it wanted to go its own way. Wish I had a better lens as I did not want to get any closer than I was for a picture.
The two most ferocious animals that don't kill humans are the wolverine and the orca.
I like them both....a lot.
But they look so cute,!
I’ve hiked and hunted all over Alaska. I’ve only come across 2 Wolverines in 30+ years. They are instantly nasty, saying just walk away and they won’t mess with you.

A wolverine will kill a caribou or moose 50 times it's size. No honey badger could take on a moose. Maybe 20 of them n most will get stomped.
One wolf cannot kill a moose, a full gr9wn grizzlie can barely kill a moose, u idiot. U sound stupud.
Are wolverines resistance to venom like honey badgers?
@@gene081976 I forgot about the moose breed that has a poisonous bite. I can’t believe that a Wolverine, that lives in super cold climate isn’t venom proof. There are so many animals that live in the snow that have poisonous bites or venom. Great point!

@BEASTERS yeah..tenacious little bastards.
@BEASTERS thanks for that. The first time I saw any references to the honey badger was in the movie The God's Must Be Crazy, a charming tale of the African bush
I think wolverines are amazing. I never tire of learning about any animal, learning about about the unique characters. These guys are survivors and are not afraid to get what they and their families need. People have often judged what animals they feel deserve to live or be wiped out. The wolverine has always got a bad rap😢As many animals have, such as crows , badgers, raccoons, vultures, condors, hyenas and many more. They are all important in the chain of life on this earth, holding a special position. Humans have messed up over and over when they decide what species is acceptable and who are not. All species are important for the ballance of nature; the way our Creature and Saviour designed this world. He designed it to have perfect ballance. We have messed it up so much that I read a few years ago that in just a ten year period 70% of the worlds insects were gone. They are going extinct at such a fast rate. Animals are going extinct every year. Some animals, they say like amphibians or reptiles, even little mammals are going extinct even before they have been discovered. Or they're finally discovered, just as they go extinct. It is very sad and shows how poorly humans have managed this earth they were given. Most often things have gone wrong because of greed They knew fossil fuels had to go back in thd "80s". They knew that switch to wind, and water ect power sources was needed. Yet to this day they stay with fossil fuel because greed, of money and power. I remember as a very young child, trucks going up and down streets blowing poison into our air to kill off mosquitoes. That is the main food sourse for bats and some birds as well as many amphibians. In their ignorance they were killing off the main food sourse for animals and caused many a decline or extinction of many, as well as poisoning us, as we would stand and watch. I remember how bad it smelled and how sick I would feel after breathing it in the summer evenings. The amount of poisonous chemicals and pesticides, chemicals in plastics we had and have in our bodies has caused many cancers deseases, and neurological conditions as well as alzheimer's. I am so happy I moved from the USA in March 1990. And we have lived and raiseg our family in a land free of most of the crap and I and my husband are healthy. Though there are still stupid things done here as well. They don't fill their cattle with hormones and antibiotics. The animals are free from that, including the chicken and duck and pigs. In fact for your beef, you can track down who raised the beef. And each one is tested before the meat is sold. I think it is too late to fix this world. I thank God He, Jesus, is coming soon for His people. Sadly things are going to get really bad before our Lord will make all things new. He has to. Humans have messed up in so many physical and spiritual ways. I know I have gone down a rabbits hole from speaking of the amazing wolverine. I am so happy they are still around! Thank God!
Awesome 😊
