Wolverine (Gulo gulo), Kolmården

(Gulo is Latin for "glutton").

Also referred to as glutton, carcajou, skunk bear, or quickhatch. It is the largest land-dwelling species of the family Mustelidae (weasels). It is a stocky and muscular carnivore, more closely resembling a small bear than other mustelids. The wolverine, a solitary animal, has a reputation for ferocity and strength out of proportion to its size, with the documented ability to kill prey many times larger than itself.
