A wolverine is capable of killing and ripping apart prey much larger than itself. Superficially a wolverine looks like a cute little bear<\/a>, but looks can be deceiving.<\/p>\n\"Wolverine.\"<\/a>\n

The wolverine is not a bear but a close relative of weasels, otters, skunks<\/a>, polecats, ferrets, badgers and its similarly ferocious cousin the honey badger. Neither is a wolverine particularly cuddly and one should not try to pet a strange wolverine unless one enjoys being savagely mauled.<\/p>\n

Wolverines live in the in the northern part of North America as well as in Northern Europe and Siberia.<\/p>\n

Wolverines will kill and eat any animal they can overpower, which means most of them, including the young of other predators.<\/p>\n

You definitely should NOT<\/strong> get a wolverine as a pet. It is highly unlikely that you can provide for the needs of a wolverine in your own home, and being a ferocious wild predator, your pet wolverine would be a constant danger to you, your children, your neighbors, and anyone who comes by.<\/p>\n
