Wolverine: Feeling the Heat with Jeff Corwin

It's not the comic book hero, but this critter can be just as ferocious if cornered. Jeff Corwin talks about the snow-loving wolverine and the crisis it is facing as the snow it needs for survival continues to melt away. Part of Defenders of Wildlife's Feeling the Heat series.

1. Wolverines aren't anywhere close to extinction.

The International Union for Conservation of Nature (IUCN) lists wolverines as "least concern", which means the animal does not qualify for endangered status.

2. There's been one case where a wolverine attacked a bear for its kill. It lost.

Wolverines are awesome, but lying is lame...

wow this is bullshit ... wolverines are not ''push to the break of extinction because of global warming''. Its cause they are scavenger and need large tracts of undisturbed wilderness ( up to 2000 km² for male ). Global warming has something to do with it, but its not the first and only explanation ... activist video sucks

ironic that in michigan, home of the wolverines, they have been driven to extinction; or nearly so, as i've heard evidence of a few remaining in the upper penninnsula.
