SEE WOLVERINE
Rae Baker and Jim Cahoon have
reported seeing a wolverine along
the Akamina highway while on a
trip to Cameron lake this week.
The boys were walking along
the highway when they sighted the
wolverine short distance away.
They were downwind from the
animal SO his nostrils did not warn
of their presence.
The boys, wary of this animal
of species reputed to be danger
Gus to man, made sudden move
ment. Seeing the movement the
wolverine looked up, stared mo-
ment, then whirled and ran back
up the mountainside.
Wolverines are rare in this area.
