Description The Wolverine (Gulo gulo), also referred to as a glutton

This picture was taken in a national park in the northern parts of Sweden With a Nikon D700 and a Nikon 400mm lens F2,8 and a Nikon TC-17E II teleconverter

One of the things we do to get close to the animals is to give them small amount of meat in their territory this is done by an professional game keeper in a controlled way.
Never feed wild predators.. at this time i am 40-60 meter from the Wolverine....


If you like pictures of wolverine and other wildlife like wolves lynx fox and bears and have the time please visit my gallery and tell me what you think

Sincerely

Pali

P.S Enlarge for the best experience

So. Darn. Adorable! Excellent quality of capture as well. They look just like leetle bears with long fluffy tails.

I used to think it was a female wolf, and always wondered why a male character was called it, lol. But yeah, they're an amazing mustelid, not enough shots of them on DA.

i am sorry to say that they are allowed to to that or should i say at least 2 years ago they were allowed to hunt the wolverine

SanibelRoo In reply to PictureByPali [2011-03-22 01:41:31 +0000 UTC]

I don't agree with hunting - unless it is humanely done for food consumption. Hunting for sport is so cruel and unnecessary.

I didn't know there was wolverines in Sweden. Thought it was only in Northern America.
Anyway, you know how to make me feel like visiting Sweden. I wish I had the chance to be there.
Nice pic ! Perhaps a little bit dark on the fur, but you can't change the nature !

o yes we have a stable population of the wolverine in Sweden... The fur is even darker i use photoshop the lighten it up a bit

I was sure you already lighten it a bit.Well, as I said you can't change Nature.
I didn't matter before but you have kind of a nice gear (400mm f2.8 )
