The wolverine is a carnivorous mammal native to the northern regions of North America, Europe, and Asia. The wolverine's body is heavyset, the legs are short and thick, and the claws are long and curved. It has thick fur composed of long glossy hairs. The wolverine is nocturnal and does not hibernate. In spite of its seemingly clumsy movements, it can move swiftly. Wolverines will eat bird eggs, berries, and any animal they can kill. Lacking live prey, they will eat carrion. They are adept at robbing the traps that hunters set for other animals. Although once abundant, the wolverine is now rare due to overhunting, both for its fur and because it is viewed as a pest by some people.
