The wolverine is Europe’s largest marten. It is a predator with a small head and large paws. The wolverine resembles a short-legged bear, but moves more like a badger. Within the EU, the wolverine is only found in Sweden and Finland, while globally it exists all across the boreal forest and tundra belts in the Northern hemisphere. Wolverines are hunters, but more importantly scavengers, that tidy up left-overs from other large carnivores hunting success, mainly from humans, wolves and lynx.
