To the victors go the spoils…
Wolverines are known for their fierce and aggressive nature, they are one of the toughest predators in the wild. Pound for pound, they’re the best fighters in the woods, capable of taking down prey much larger than themselves.
Small but mighty creatures, they are only about 3 feet in length and generally weigh about 30 pounds. They have short, stocky legs and broad, rounded heads with powerful jaws and teeth.
Wolverines are fearless and aggressive predators, and they are known for their relentless nature. They are incredibly adaptable animals and can survive in the harshest of environments. They are capable of traveling long distances in search of food, and they have been known to climb trees and dig through just about anything out there to get to prey.
Wolverines are solitary animals and do not form packs like wolves or coyotes. They mark their territory and will defend it from all other predators. Wolverines often store food for later consumption and will fight anything trying to steal it.
This wolverine clearly had itself a wild battle.
It is seen happily feeding away on a carcass. But, there is something strange about its head. As it moves around biting away at the dead animal, you can see that it has literally been scalped.
The wolverine continues to eat away with the massive wound on its noggin, a testament to just how tough these things are. The wound looks dark in color, so perhaps it isn’t a fresh wound, but hey, avoiding an infection from a cut like that is half the battle.
I mean, literally… the whole top of its head is gone.
Ya either got to get tough or die out there in the wild.
Man Captures Footage Of Wolverine Attacking A Reindeer In The Snow
These things are easily the scariest critters in the woods.
Wolverines have no fear, are incredibly aggressive, and will go at (usually successfully) other animals five times their size.
Seeing one is extremely rare, so anytime a video pops up it’s worth a watch even to just admire them for their unique looks.
This one is insane though. A lot of the wolverine videos involve some sort of confrontation, but it’s pretty crazy when you think of the size difference between a wolverine and a reindeer.
The video starts and it looks like a struggling reindeer with a large scarf around its neck just trying to stay warm. I mean, it’s snowing something fierce here (it appears to be Norway).
Then you realize the reindeer is fighting for its life. As it swings some animal around. As it flips over you notice the silver streak up its back.
A wolverine.
The pair go on, the reindeer shakes as the wolverine attacks its neck and seems to be completely in control despite the large size difference.
The reindeer flips and fights hard. But the wolverine just seems to be on another level. As the wolverine gets flipped off, its movement nearly looks fake as it deeks out the reindeer and jumps out of nowhere at it.
The reindeer fights hard but eventually the wolverines speed and fearlessness become to tiring for it. The video ends with the wolverine having the upper hand as the reindeer was clearly defeated.
According to the man who took the video, the reindeer left with severe injuries and the wolverine more than likely just followed the trail of blood until it died.
This is crazy and all to happen in a snow storm too… a once in a lifetime video.
