Not only wolverine. Most people see tiger and lion too as "super-animal" and powerful than god which are also like other animals who have to face their daily challenges of survival in unforgiving wilderness.

It is true, that many animals have reputation making them look like something else, than they are in reality. But what comes to wolverines, they often look like to be in that category "over the top". Even some books written to make it look like some little devil able to do whatever it wants and kill bears and who knows what. Maybe it is good, that no elephants living up north, otherwise we would have some story about such case too

Of course it is able to do impressive things, but then again it is very small and it doesn´t live and hunt in packs. It´s nice, that some animal gets attention, but when it is all the time exaggerated it can cause also trouble if people really start to think, that it´s more dangerous than it is in reality. That can lead to many animals to be shot when in sight just like that. Wolverines have bad reputation especially in areas where people own reindeer, so I don´t think, that it should be made any worse by creating stories about some imaginary "badass" able and willing to attack and kill everything around it, while reality is not like that at all.

It is wild animal, doing the best it can to live and do it´s part in nature, not some little maniac killing machine :) Reply
