Nevada wolverline. known as the "glutten of America." and famed for his fierce and bloodthirsty dispo- sition. is making his last stand in the high Sierras. according to “falter I‘ry. head of the nature guide service, Sequoia. National Park. California. The “'olverllne. Mr. Fry says. is be- lng killed off by man. his natural enemy. and by his own gluttonous habit of killing and eating the porcu- pine. The latter's quills puncture the wolverllne's intestines. causing him a death of agony in from seven to ten days. “The wolverline.” says Mr. Fry. "is by far the largest and most formida- ble of the weasel family. It is a strong. heavy-bodied animal, seldom weighing more than 125 pounds. or exceeding 22 inches in height or 10 inches in length. The wolverline, commonly speaking. is not an ag- gressive animal, but will fight des- perately when attacked, or for the care of its young. lbw poa'r veto “When once engaged in combat the A l beast knows no such thing as retreat. ‘ ‘ CAP 5T0395‘ N Now BE CAREFUL‘ ..

The wolveriine not only expects the larg- er animals to leave him alone. but requires them to give up their prey and permit him to satisfy his glut- tonous appetite. I have witnessed big game leave a carcass when a wolveriine appeared, giving him free reign to devour the remains. “The wolverline. has no winning bursts of speed to catch his food sup- ply.: nor has he the gift of stalking his quarry. His lack of speed and . skill has forced the animal to be a scavenger and eat nnything in the way of flesh that is captured and found dead. He often follows the trap lines of fur trnppers. eating or destroying the catches, baits. and at times. dragging away the traps. “He will invnvie a. rangcr‘s or tmpr .
