Wolverines are dangerous to their fellow animals,
That the wolverine is, pound-for-pound, the toughest animal in America, if not the world. And, to be fair, these little guys (actually the largest land-dwelling weasels) are ferocious. Despite weighing just 20 to 50 pounds, wolverines have been known to go after deer and even caribou if they're hungry enough.
While wolverines look like a bear and smell like a skunk, they are technically the largest land-living weasel. Adult wolverines have few natural predators, but kits fall victim to wolves, bears, and mountain lions.
However, wolverines more closely resemble small bears than martens or weasels. Wolverines are powerful, aggressive, territorial, and tenacious. They make a living by being very efficient scavengers. Wolverines are built to rip into and feed on frozen flesh and bone.
Throughout the year, wolverines feed on small and medium-sized animals such as voles, squirrels, snowshoe hares, and birds. In the right situations, wolverines can kill moose, Dall sheep, bighorn sheep, and caribou, but these occurrences are rare.
