away surprisingly perhaps this male
drops his food in the middle of nowhere
and then
leaves and this is why a female
Wolverine the food is a gift for his
mate Wolverines are very secretive
animals and very few people have ever
seen this caring
Behavior several days later it becomes

been the female emerges from her Den

  17. Any wolverine experts in here? I saw what was either a solid jet black wolverine, or it was the biggest male Fisher Cat ever….this was in the woods in No. Wisconsin near the U.P., and I've been wondering ever since if wolverines come in solid jet black or not…

  24. I am a 40 year old 6 foot and 215lbs bloke and every time i hear Sir David Attenborough's voice i become this little boy who stares at the screen and just listens quietly with a lot of joy to his soothing and crystal clear narration.
    This wonderful man has tought millions of children, teenagers, adults and old ones a lot about our beautiful planet and its flora and fauna.
    I am still amazed and greatful to hear this man and become every single time a child.
    If someone would ask me, a personal trainer and nutrition coach, who his biggest hero and idol is, it is this man. Was my childhood hero and still is today.

    Thank you Sir David for all the beauty, joy and knowledge you brought to us.
