Animals of Russia


A cunning and strong animal, a mix between a bear cub and a dog, it easily avoids all traps and even kills and devours game caught in a trap. Indigenous people of the Siberian north believe that the wolverine, not the bear, is the master of the taiga. Unlike wolves, which, once they have assuaged their hunger, might abandon the prey and go on a new hunt, the wolverine tears up the carcass, and hides pieces in various places and will not leave the area until it has eaten everything, including the bones. The wolverine is one of few animals that cannot be tamed even if several generations live in captivity. The wolverine avoids man and attacks only in extreme cases.
