Wolverines - Importance for Humans
Wolverines have been hunted for their highly valued fur. As their fur is frost resistant, it was widely used by people living in the Arctic. Wolverines are sometimes suspected of killing livestock. Many Wolverines are shot because they prey upon animals that are trapped for fur. Wolverines - Some Interesting Facts
Some people call Wolverines skunk bears due to their pale yellow stripes along their flanks.
