Additional evidence of wolverine found in the Tahoe National Forest

During ongoing investigations by an Oregon State University graduate student, the Forest Service, and California Department of Fish and Game (DFG), two additional wolverine photographs were captured this past week. A variety of hair, track and scat samples were also sent for analysis to determine if these were from a wolverine. After the initial photograph of a wolverine was taken by a remote camera on Feb. 28, 2008, in the Tahoe National Forest, researchers, biologists and volunteers intensified the search for more detections in the same general area, north of Truckee, Calif.

Hopefully they did not find any yellow spandex.

What’s the thing in the lower right corner?

Hmm, I never realized that wolverines look remarkably like tree trunks.

Seriously, I can’t make heads or tails (no pun intended) out of that photo. Is that the wolverine in the extreme lower right?

[Bringbackthedraft]

We had them up at Ft Drum about a decade ago. It was a big deal then. They’re nasty little critters, they’ll come after ya.

i see the Wolverine, but what the hell is that around the tree???

[SouthTexas]

It’s a device to keep the wolverines out of the trees.

[Chode]

of course... what was i thinking.

[SouthTexas]

Obviously someone knew they were already around. LOL

[Bloody Sam Roberts]

but what the hell is that around the tree???

It's a spiked collar designed to attract only kinky wolverines.

[Bloody Sam Roberts]

I prefer Rogue.

So do I.

[Frank_2001]

It looks like some kind of cat!;)

[Chode]

i guess a Wolverine has to get his kink on now and again...

[Bloody Sam Roberts]

Sometimes it’s hard for the little furballs. They gotta bad rep.

[Chode]

kinda like a Badger with an attitude...
