The wolverine, known as Gulo gulo, is a powerful carnivore native to boreal forests and tundra. It has a stocky, muscular body, thick fur, and a keen sense of smell. Wolverines are solitary and known for their strength and ferocity, capable of taking down prey many times their size.

The wolverine (Gulo gulo) is native to the northern regions of North America, Europe, and Asia. In North America, it is found primarily in Alaska, Canada, and some northern parts of the contiguous United States. In Europe and Asia, it can be found in countries like Norway, Sweden, Finland, and Russia, extending across the Siberian region.

Wolverines inhabit cold, arctic, and subarctic environments, often within boreal forests, tundra, and mountainous regions. They prefer remote, rugged terrains with dense snow cover which provides them with a suitable environment for hunting and denning.

As opportunistic feeders, wolverines occupy the ecological niche of scavengers and predators. They are well adapted to harsh conditions, capable of traveling long distances in search of food. Their diet consists of a variety of prey, including small to medium-sized mammals, birds, and carrion, which they can locate even under deep snow.
