Wolverines are the largest member of the weasel family in North America.
These animals are known as ferocious carnivores that will attack and kill a caribou or even a moose . Resembling a large, dark badger, they are seldom seen although they may be present in moderate numbers. The wolverine prefers boreal forest habitat that does not exist in Bering Land Bridge National Preserve , but they also occur in open tundra. Wolverines feed on caribou, reindeer, and smaller animals and may scavenge food from dead marine mammals on the beach. Wolverines are most active at night, so are seldom seen by visitors.
