I know Steinar sort of has the corner on animal-related blog posts, but I have a point to make.
Wolverines.
Aww, he looks so cute, doesn’t he?
WRONG!
I’m telling you, these things are not to be trifled with! They take on opponents like bears and wolves, and they win! Perhaps the deadliest thing about the wolverine is his element of surprise. You don’t expect a small, furry thing to come after you with cold-blooded murder in his eyes, and so you may get a little too close or even try to pet the creature. Before you know it, you’ve lost an arm and are praying for death.
Now, just because they are scary little buggers doesn’t mean they should be hated. Just like any deadly animal, they should be feared and respected. Unfortunately, their populations are dwindling and that saddens me.
So, moral of the story: when traipsing about the countryside of northern latitudes, bring with you a gun…but don’t shoot unless your life is in immediate danger!
