This summer, up in Alaska,I saw what I now believe to be a wolverine. My initial thought was that it was a mountain beaver mainly because we'd been joking about them the whole time. I was about to trot off into the bush to do my business when I saw the wolverine retreat to the same spot I was heading. I'd hate to imagine how the "worst case scenario" of that circumstance would have played out. Needless to say, I chose a different location.
