Discover a rare animal in the United States of America
In a new discovery, the California Department of Fish and Wildlife managed to monitor the wild "wolverine" several times in California last May, which is only the second animal to be verified by experts in a century. And that is during the intensification of biologists in the recent period of their efforts, to discover new secrets about animals and living organisms, especially those threatened with extinction.
And according to the "nypost" website, it was reported that the wolverine was spotted twice in the Inyo National Forest and once in Yosemite National Park, during the month of May. A century ago.
The California Department of Fish and Wildlife documented the CDFW of a wolverine at Mammoth Mountain in Crowley, California.
Experts confirm that it is a rare animal
The team analyzed the photos and videos of the animal, by US Forest Service experts, who confirmed that it was the same creature. Because of its body proportions, color, and movement.
In the same context, Daniel Jammons, chief ecologist at the Department of Fish and Wildlife, said in a statement: “ Wolverines can travel long distances; Which makes it likely that all recent sightings are of the same animal.”
"Because only two wolverines have been confirmed in California in the past 100 years," Jammons added. These latest discoveries are exciting.” A wolverine has not been spotted in the wild in California since 2018, and the same animal was reported in 2008 within the Truckee area of the Tahoe National Forest.
According to experts, the wolverine lives from 5 to 13 years, and is usually found in cold climates with limited human presence, such as Alaska, Canada, Russia, and the northern countries of Europe. It is believed that there are only 400 wolverines throughout the United States, most of which are concentrated in Idaho, Colorado, and Montana.
Wolverine is a short, strong, stocky animal that resembles a small bear and lives on eating meat. It usually eats medium-sized animals such as squirrels, beavers, and rabbits. It is also capable of killing prey that is many times its size, such as deer, wolves, and puppies.

Wolverine is also known as "gulo gulo" or glutton, and is sometimes called "skunk bear"; Because it is somewhat similar to a skunk, but it has a body like the bodies of small bears. Wolverine animals are famous for being completely isolated; Meaning they tend to live alone, do not travel in groups, and sometimes travel up to 24 kilometers a day in search of food.
" Some people may see a wolverine and not realize it's extremely rare," said Department of Fish and Wildlife spokesman Tim Daley .
