WOLVERINE WAY (PATAGONIA BOOKS) (PB)

The wolverine comes marked with a reputation based on myth and fancy, yet this enigmatic animal is more complex than the legends that surround it. With a shrinking wilderness and global warming, the future of the wolverine is uncertain. This book reveals the natural history of the species and the forces that threaten its future, engagingly told by Douglas Chadwick, who volunteered with the Glacier Wolverine Project in Montana's Rocky Mountains. He reveals that wolverines, are the land equivalent of polar bears in regard to the impacts of global warming, and their plight adds to the call for wildlife corridors that connect existing habitat.
