Wolverine at Deer Kill Site - February 2023

A wolverine visits a cached deer under the snow. The cause of death for the deer was unknown, although we suspected it may have died from an injury from hunting season or natural causes.
Swan Valley Connections has been monitoring wolverine distribution and relative abundance in the Southwest Crown of the Continent as far back as the early 1990s. This research helps to shape management decisions and inform conservation strategies to better protect this rare carnivore.
By giving to our Wild for Wildlife Match campaign, you will be supporting our rare carnivore monitoring work, along with so many other wildlife initiatives.

Trail camera footage was captured by Luke Lamar.

I saw a Wolverine this past spring above treeline in Colorado. they are not supposed to be in the State but 100% sure because of distinct traveling gait & bushy stubby tail

Awesome! Did you report the sighting to Colorado Parks and Wildlife?
