Index of Subjects Hi Angela We've only got 2 early records of possible Wolverine in the region... Based on the nearest established populations in the Gaspe, suspect that those two were extra-limital. Any chance for images or estimate of size? Cheers Andrew A Hebda Nova Scotia Museum Zoology Collections . >>> Randy Lauff <randy.lauff@gmail.com> 7/18/2011 3:02 pm >>> I don't think wolverines were ever part of our fauna here. Fisher are much more secretive to be spotted "numerous times." Not knowing the extent of knowledge of your friend doesn't help...but there are a number of possibilities that come to mind if she is a a novice...but readily dismissed if she isn't. Ground Hog? Young bear? Even, gulp, a huge skunk...check out the pelage colourations of the two: http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/8/8c/Wolverine_on_rock.jpg http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:Striped_Skunk_(Mephitis_mephitis)_DSC_0030.jpg I do not mean to sound demeaning by suggesting these common animals, but it's hard to imagine what else it could be. However, if we had a peacock escapee...maybe there really is a wolverine out there? Anyone missing any pets? :) Randy _________________________________ RF Lauff Way in the boonies of Antigonish County, NS.
