Wolverine
One of the wolverine at the in the Nordiska Djur part of Skansen, Stockholm. It took us a long time to spot, sleeping in some hole in the ground, but when the zoo responsible went to give some raw meat, it quickly got up running around for the found. Funny animal indeed.
The wolverine is the largest land-dwelling species of the weasel family. It lives in northern parts of Alaska, Scandinavia, Siberia etc. It's a carnivorous animal but can also eat plants.
Adults are the size of a medium-sized dog, but they are strong animals. They are bold and do not hesitate to kill large prey (like a moose) or to try and steal prey from other bigger predators.
They don't have natural predators but humans, but might suffer from fights with bears (I heard a 500-pound bear can easily crush a 30-pound wolverine :o) )
