About
Final coin in the series! Order yours today!
The wolverine enjoys a fearsome "tough guy" reputation. Much of the wolverine's notoriety can be attributed to its secretive ways, low population density and remote northerly range in central and westernCanada. It's one of the nation's least understood animals, but as researchers continue to study the wolverine, they are discovering it is one of nature's great powerhouses.
The wolverine's strength is far beyond its stature. Its powerful jaws can bite through moose tibia, and its teeth have evolved to eat frozen meat and bones. It has long, semi-retractable claws that it uses primarily for digging and climbing. And while the wolverine is known to ferociously defend its food from larger predators, it is primarily a scavenger rather than a hunter of live prey.
