Wolverines

Sharp claws grip … Teeth crush and grind … Meet the wolverine! Brimming with vivid photos and scientific facts, this middle-grade nonfiction book treats researchers and wild animal lovers to a comprehensive profile of these remarkable woodland mammals from the weasel family. It covers zoology topics such as anatomy, diet, habitat, and life cycle, as well as species conservation efforts and the animals' relationship with humans throughout history. Sidebars, a range map, and a glossary support the main text, while a Canadian folktale about the wolverine adds a cross-curricular cultural layer to the title.
