Only one I've heard about, but never seen, is the wolverine. Heard a story from an old timer about an encounter between a wolverine and a brown bear. The bear lost the fight.

I've never seen a wolverine, but we have a critter in the south which is UNBELIEVABLY vicious, pound for pound. It's a nutria.

I've heard similar stories about wolverines. They vary alot in size and appearance, as do bears. So I suppose a very large wolverine and a small bear would not be a fair fight.

Yeah the wolverine is a pretty nasty little critter too. Of course these two have crossed paths in the past, I wonder who came out on top. I'll bet on the wolverine.
That racoon on "Wild America" got inside the mountain lions legs, and the mountian lion probably thought he had laid on a table saw. It was pretty damn funny to see the lion doing those frantic vertical leaps.
