By David Runk The Associated Press Updated: 5:15 p.m. ET Feb.25, 2004 DETROIT - A biologist has confirmed the sighting of a real Michigan wolverine, about 200 years after the species was last seen in the state that uses the small but ferocious animal as its unofficial nickname. advertisement Coyote hunters spotted a wolverine near Ubly, about 90 miles north of Detroit. Michigan Department of Natural Resources wildlife biologist Arnie Karr saw the forest predator Tuesday and snapped pictures of the animal as it ran out of the woods and across a field. The wolverine, a member of the weasel family that grows to about 25 pounds but is ferocious enough to fight off bears and wolves, once ranged across the northern and western United States. It is now limited mostly to northern Canada, Idaho and Alaska, with sightings in a few other states, but its last confirmed sightings in Michigan were by fur traders in the late 1700s and early 1800s.

82. Kids Wildlife Facts Below are some interesting facts about the wildlife in Lake Clark National Park seals,grizzly/brown bears, caribou, wolves, black bear, wolverines, moose, lynx http://www.nps.gov/lacl/kids/kidswildlife.htm

Experiments Ranger Notebook Slide Show Trivia Page Wildlife Facts Wildlife Facts Below are some interesting facts about the wildlife in Lake Clark National Park and Preserve. One of the special things about Lake Clark is that there are a variety of animals living in the park. Visiting the park one could see sea otters, whales, harbor seals, grizzly/brown bears, caribou, wolves, black bear, wolverines, moose, lynx, Dall sheep, salmon, eagles, spiders, and many, many more. They all have distinctive characteristics you will find fascinating. Lake Clark National Park and Preserve helps protect all these animals similar to National Parks in the Lower 48. In the Lower 48 you are not allowed to hunt in National Parks. However, in Alaska, many of the National Park areas also have an adjoining "Preserve" piece associated with it (Lake Clark National Park and Preserve ). The law establishing the Alaskan parks and preserves allows for hunting and trapping in those preserve segments, while extending national park protection to the land. The Preserve is an area where anyone with a State of Alaska hunting permit may hunt. People hunt caribou, moose, Dall sheep and bear in Lake Clark Preserve. 1. The eagle is a common bird in Alaska. They have a white head and tail with a dark brown body. The interesting thing about eagles is they reuse the same nest year after year. Each year they add on to their nest. Sometimes eagle nests get so heavy and big they crash the tree they are in. A large eagle nest is big enough for two full-grown adults to sit in!

The Biodiversity Legal Foundation and five other organizations petitioned the Service to list the wolverine within the contiguous United States and designate critical habitat for it. The Service determined that the petition and other currently available data is insufficient to determine wolverine distribution, habitat requirements, and whether there are threats to the continued existence of the wolverine. Wolverines naturally occur in low densities. Wolverines are difficult to study and rarely observed, so lack of sightings does not necessarily mean that wolverine numbers are declining.

84. Cooperative Wolverine Study In Columbia Basin wolverine are considered vulnerable by the BC Ministry of Environment WildlifeBranch and consequently vital rate data are important for evaluating http://www.cmiae.org/research/wolverine.htm

Cooperative Wolverine Study in Columbia Basin Kootenay Wolverine Project, 1998 Progress Report by John Krebs, Senior Wildlife Biologist, Columbia Basin Fish and Wildlife Compensation Program A five year project investigating demography and habitat use of a harvested population of wolverine is nearing completion. The 7,000 square kilometre study area in the Kootenay Region of British Columbia contains ten registered trap lines, two national parks, a major transportation corridor, two hydro-electric reservoirs, active logging areas and supports substantial recreational activity including helicopter skiing, snowmobiling and ski touring. Wolverine are considered "vulnerable" by the BC Ministry of Environment Wildlife Branch and consequently vital rate data are important for evaluating management options. A total of 39 (14 females and 25 males) adult and subadult wolverine have been captured over 3700 trap-nights using log box traps baited with road killed wildlife. Capture success varied by month and year with best results in February and March. Population estimates for the study area based on 4 years of live trapping data are 25.6 (95% CI: 15.6-55.3) and 24.0 (95% CI: 14.7-44.3) for 1996 and 1997 respectively. Five of the eight mortalities detected during the study to date have been human caused, three commercially trapped and a road kill and a rail kill, both occurring in Glacier National Park. Annual survival rate was estimated to be 0.79 (95% CI: 0.65 - 0.92) for all age and sex categories combined.

FAQ Keyword Search More Search Options Thursday, February 26, 2004 Wildlife biologist confirms sighting of wolverine in Michigan's Huron County By DAVID RUNK - Associated Press Writer - 02/26/04 Riding on the back of a snowmobile in Huron County with coyote hunters who earlier reported spotting a wolverine, Arnie Karr snapped pictures of the animal as it ran out of the woods and across a field. Tuesday's encounter by the Michigan Department of Natural Resources wildlife biologist, officials say, marks the state's first confirmed sighting of the forest predator in the wild since reports by fur traders dating to the late 1700s and early 1800s. ''I just had a very clear view of it,'' Karr said. ''The markings were very clear. There's just no question.'' While a thrill for Karr and other wildlife officials, the sighting near the Thumb community of Ubly creates a mystery: How did the wolverine get there? ''It's up there with having a caribou or a polar bear turn up in the Thumb,'' DNR spokesman Brad Wurfel said Wednesday. ''It's unprecedented.'' It remains a question whether the animals have called Michigan home since the 19th century, even though the state has the unofficial Wolverine nickname and University of Michigan's athletic program uses the moniker.
