The old TV show, “Thee Monroe’s” in the 60’s, had an episode with a monster attacking their food. They were all terrified, because it was a wolverine. I thought it was going to be a bear. They were more frightened because it was a wolverine.

I remember seeing that as a young kid. It was the first time I'd ever heard of a wolverine and they did make it seem like a monster.

One of the writers who specialized in wildlife in the far north did depict wolverines as monsters. I think it was Jack London.

Disney filmed a 1960s nature show including a wolverine attacking an osprey nest, and taking a osprey nestling.

I have a gut-feeling they trapped the wolverine and induced it to attack the nest. (Not an unusual trick by “nature photographers”).

"...they did make it seem like a monster...."

Not a 'monster' - just a cute cuddly pet, yeah...
