Also fur-bearing animals like wolves, coyotes, lynx, have coats that make for good lining too. Animal rights activists may complain but there's nothing like the Real McCoy on your parka hoods.<br /><br />RuneE, I am in the same state as you pretty much: my Barbara Martinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00610140328527165017noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4476278785366059110.post-41124713330047589952009-06-19T14:52:00.066-04:002009-06-19T14:52:00.066-04:00I wish my health (and physical status) had been of...I wish my health (and physical status) had been of a nature that allowed me to make such a hike. It looks impressive. The picture of the wolverine was nice - I know they are not easy to catch. However, I must admit that the combination of wolverines and angry grizzly bears sounds a bit daunting... :-)Rune Eidehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01008247272056395901noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4476278785366059110.post-49686572776144570152009-06-19T00:51:30.897-04:002009-06-19T00:51:30.897-04:00Wolverine fur won't freeze to your face, so it...Wolverine fur won't freeze to your face, so it's used in snorkle-hood coats like I wore in a precious life.

The animals' behaviour is quite different as the wolverine here is peering cautiously at the photographer. You can visit here anytime you like to get a sense of the Canadian Rockies.

If they can mark their food (animal carcass) with their scent no other predator or bird will touch it after. Wolverines are also known as Skunk Bears, Devil Bears and Carcajous.Barbara Martinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00610140328527165017noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4476278785366059110.post-3971304986269879042009-06-18T18:39:54.843-04:002009-06-18T18:39:54.843-04:00Teresa, I have been looking for flora and fauna to...Teresa, I have been looking for flora and fauna to put in these hiking posts and found this critter.<br /><br />Tony, there are times I feel like spraying my food too, to keep poachers from it.<br /><br />Diane, wolverines tend to be scavangers though they are quite capable of bringing down deer or caribou.Barbara Martinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00610140328527165017noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4476278785366059110.post-68009360418460178792009-06-18T18:36:26.264-04:002009-06-18T18:36:26.264-04:00Joan, you are quite welcome.
