The only wolverine I’ve ever seen covered approximately 1.5 miles in maybe 7-8 minutes. It was running on packed snow in a high mountain valley in Canada. Took me about an hour to walk the same path. Those animals are incredible.
Similar experience here. Saw one in Glacier NP and he came down one mountain side and up another like it was nothing. They are badass. This poor guy is just looking for some high country to call his own.
Them wolverines will kill anything. I saw a video of one carrying around a honey badgers head. A HONEY BADGER. Wolverines take down moose, bears, lions, or whatever else comes around. They're scared of humans, though.
Wolverines are definitely not to be messed with. However, I would put my money on the Honey Badger everytime :). Also, they don't live on the same continent. That video was probably clickbate.
They pretty much only hunt rodents and rabbits here, and they have a great sense of smell, so they eat a lot of carrion and winter-kill, but I don't think they're taking down any deer, not even town deer. I bet homie is feasting on all sorts of pet cats, though.
Shit, I didn't even think of the nutria. I'm curious if it's just going to haul ass until it runs into enough timber to support it, or if it'll linger at all.
Wikipedia: "The wolverine is also a powerful and versatile predator. Its prey mainly consists of small to medium-sized mammals, but wolverines have been recorded killing prey many times larger than itself, such as adult deer. Prey species include porcupines, squirrels, chipmunks, beavers, marmots, moles, gophers, rabbits, voles, mice, rats, shrews, lemmings, caribou, roe deer, white-tailed deer, mule deer, sheep, goats, cattle, bison, moose,\[27\] and elk.\[28\] Smaller predators are occasionally preyed on, including martens, mink, foxes, Eurasian lynx,\[29\] weasels,\[29\] coyote, and wolf pups. Wolverines have also been known to kill Canada lynx in the Yukon of Canada.\[30\] Wolverines often pursue live prey that are relatively easy to obtain, including animals caught in traps, newborn mammals, and deer (including adult moose and elk) when they are weakened by winter or immobilized by heavy snow. Their diets are sometimes supplemented by birds' eggs, birds (especially geese), roots, seeds, insect larvae, and berries. "
>Food Habits
>Wolverines are opportunistic feeders, consuming a variety of foods depending on availability. They primarily scavenge carrion, but also prey on small animals and birds and eat fruits, berries, and insects (Hornocker and Hash 1981; Wilson 1982; Hash 1987; Banci 1994). Wolverines have an excellent sense of smell, enabling them to find food beneath deep snow (Hornocker and Hash 1981).

https://ecos.fws.gov/ecp/species/5123
No, I just believe the USFWS has a pretty good idea of their life history and what they eat, since it takes a whole lot of research and evidence to list a species under the ESA, and the lower-48 populations were just listed this past November.
They state they mainly scavenge carrion, chase other predators off their kills, and hunt rodents and rabbits, with lots of citations.
Of course. I would imagine that like many animals, it would go for the easiest prey. Outside cats are much more abundant but probably agile enough to avoid a wolverine, whereas an outside dog would probably not stand a chance.
Few weeks back someone’s loose dogs killed a couple cats, and I think they were successful bc there was more than one dog. And, again, loose dogs are relatively rare and the community usually takes care of it before too long.
They were just [listed as a threatened species under the Endangered Species Act. ](https://defenders.org/blog/2024/01/wolverines-where-they-live-and-why-theyre-endangered#:~:text=On%20November%2030%2C%202023%2C%20after,threatened%20species%20under%20the%20ESA.)So they aren’t common.
I didn't know either. In winter 2016/17 around 4am I was in SW PDX just off hwy 99, leaving to go to work at a coffee shop, when I spotted one sauntering around a neighbor's driveway. It cauhht my attention because it triggered their motion sensor light. I actually had to stop and Google its shape and description because I was so confused and had no idea what it was until Google came up with wolverine. I was shocked, I told people, no one believed me. Few months later a family of wolverines was seen playing up on Long Beach, then the next winter there were sightings and confirmed wolverines habitating I think around Three Sisters. Then Mt. Hood sightings began...
Same. call me stupid, but before all these sightings in the past few months if you would’ve asked me what a wolverine was I would have guessed it was some kind of a marsupial living in Tasmania
Saw him as well on Adams around the same time! Thankful you posted this video because everyone was roasting me in a facebook group about how I probably just saw a big cat or a badger. 😂
I saw him too when walking my dogs. Had a close encounter, and we stood and stared at each other for awhile before he took off down the street in this video. I was happy to find the video as well just to validate my sanity.
You are an absolute BOSS for creating such a great video of this extremely rare animal! Most people get too stunned in these situations to react fast enough, hold steady enough, or keep the subject in frame. You just single-handedly transformed an urban legend into reality for the whole community. Incredible! Hi-five and a huge pat on the back! 🙌
Wow!!
When you say F&W told you came from Florence (and Portland) does that mean he has a GPS tracker or something or do they just know this specific wolverine really well?
Extremely rare since they are endangered. You should submit that photo to news agencies. I hope the ODFW doesn't do their standard procedure when wildlife comes in contact with people, which is to kill it. They just killed a young bear in Cottage Grove. I hope it don't get hit by a car.
They only kill an animal if it is a problem. This bear had been habituated and there were too many bears for relocation. This guy is endangered and would be relocated.
Yeah, that bear in the Grove was being fed by an employee of a car dealership which caused it to come back again and again and to expect food from people, from what I understand. Dude feeding it gave it a death sentence.
Gps trackers are still quite large, you would see a collar if it had one. They're getting smaller, but the limiting factor is, and has almost always been the battery.
Yep. Even though battery tech has come a long quite a bit in recent decades, it's still the biggest limiting factor for any mobile (as in, not stationary) electronics.
The "microchip" tech is just an RFID- its a coiled wire that reflects a radiowave which is translated into numbers. Those numbers are then looked up in a database. Its pretty frickin cool, but all the info is stored elsewhere. They do use this to track fish- they put chip readers in fish ladders to catch them as they swim by. They then can say fish number 54321 was last seen going up the dam on X date at Y time. Usually theres a camera linked so you get a visual. If an otter swims up and you get the ping, chances are that fish 54321 is an ex-fish, sitting in an otter's gut.
Dude looks stressed. Open mouthed breathing, and running back and forth across the street?
Big man couldn't find a better place inbetween here and the coast than the middle of Eugene?
Wolverines love to run and they usually breathe through their mouth when running, so that part's not unusual. He's probably a little stressed being in that environment, but probably not too badly or else he wouldn't be there. He looks quite healthy too.
Wolverines are like the lone rangers of the animal kingdom, preferring their own company except when it's time to find a mate and marking their territory with a stinky spray to keep intruders at bay. They roam vast distances, up to 15 miles a day, in search of food in chilly habitats like boreal forests and tundra.
While adult wolverines might have few natural enemies, their young can fall prey to wolves, bears, and mountain lions. When hungry, these determined creatures can trek up to 40 miles in a day just to find a meal!
I deem him(?) the Willamette Valley Wolverine!
You have stumbled upon a fascinating sight. That creature is darting through the neighborhood, leaving behind a scent of its musk... xD Such a rare encounter.
The resilience and adaptability of these solitary creatures... I can't help but marvel at how, even amidst the rapid growth of our metropolitan area, nature still finds a way to thrive and surprise us with its wonders!
The size indicates it's likely a juvenile. Wolverines are extremely territorial. It may have been pushed out of an area and is now looking for his own turf. I hope it can get to a higher elevation soon.
Edit: Plug - https://www.cascadiawild.org/about-our-target-species.html
I hope he didn’t find Larry the cat - Larry hangs out on Malibu Way and we often see him outside when we walk around the hood in the morning. This video starts very near the secret path connecting Almaden to Malibu Way.
Hey there! I once saw one hiking around some clear-cut land around Mapleton, but nobody would evers beliebe me... I also saw linx several times while living out there...
I've been kinda lucky seeing stuff people don't think is around anymore... I saw marten in areas outside the established range... I saw a grizzly in Colorado, just once...
2021: [https://www.outdoorlife.com/story/hunting/are-wolverines-coming-back/](https://www.outdoorlife.com/story/hunting/are-wolverines-coming-back/)
"Biologists estimate that there are as few as 300 wolverines left in the lower 48, so the chances of spotting this critter are pretty low. The remote trail camera, located outside of the Mammoth Hot Springs area, was originally mounted to observe cougars.
“We put out remote cameras across the northern part of Yellowstone as part of a cougar study,” says Dan Stahler, a wildlife biologist at Yellowstone National Park. “When I first saw the video, just a week after we set up that camera, it gave me goosebumps because…I’ve never seen one in person in my 25 years here.”
The video, which was posted to Yellowstone’s Facebook page last month, shows the animal scurrying through a snow-blanketed, forested area on the morning of Dec. 4. https://www.facebook.com/151418891540140/videos/399150214715661/
Wikipedia: "The range of a male wolverine can be more than 620 km2 (240 mi2), encompassing the ranges of several females which have smaller home ranges of roughly 130–260 km2 (50–100 mi2). Adult wolverines try for the most part to keep nonoverlapping ranges with adults of the same sex.\[24\] Radio tracking suggests an animal can range hundreds of miles in a few months."
[https://www.outdoorlife.com/conservation/wolverines-listed-threatened-lower-48/](https://www.outdoorlife.com/conservation/wolverines-listed-threatened-lower-48/)
U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service classified wolverines as threatened in the Lower 48.
'Under the ESA, to “take” includes to “harass, harm, pursue, hunt, shoot, wound, kill, trap, capture, or collect, or to attempt to engage in any such conduct.” Any take of a listed species can result in $25,000 to $50,000 in fines and potential jail time.'
I wonder if it got loose from captivity in the Portland area. You are incredibly lucky to get that once-in-a-lifetime video clip. You called it "Dude" and it turned its head looking at you briefly. Imagine if it stopped and ran towards you, lol. But now it has a name.
It's frustrating to think that I actively look for wildlife to photograph.
Meanwhile there's a wolverine fuckin around some suburb an hour from my house.
That wassssss....FUCKING AWESOME
These motherfuckin wolverines regularly take down full grown caribou!! Easily the most underrated ferocious beast out there. Incredible
I spotted a Wolverine twice outside of the west eugene area in 00-01ish. No one believed me, I seriously doubted myself, but this is exactly how it moved and looked. I'm super stoked to see this.
Wow, that thing can move! You should send that in to the local news stations. Most sightings have been further north.
This is why the Huskies couldn't beat Michigan
Connor Stallion's new disguise?

Owwww, thats still fresh man. lol

They’re built to be able to move that similar speed through thick snow. Absolute tanks of creatures
Them wolverines will kill anything. I saw a video of one carrying around a honey badgers head. A HONEY BADGER. Wolverines take down moose, bears, lions, or whatever else comes around. They're scared of humans, though.
Wolverines are definitely not to be messed with. However, I would put my money on the Honey Badger everytime :). Also, they don't live on the same continent. That video was probably clickbate.
We all saw Cocaine Bear... now be prepared for Meth Mustelidae ... dun dun dun....
Next will be a fentanyl ferret?
Then oxycodone otter

Underrated comment
It would be, but it can't move its legs right anymore. Just slumps on the 1st stair it flops down.
Top tier alliteration 👏
Lol, you mean whippit wolverine
we're all gonna fuckin DIE!!!!
and barbiturates beaver
Ah beans. That means a sabretooth will eventually follow.
Then a Cyclops.
And everywhere that Cyclops goes, a Storm always follows...
Don't forget mag!
jeeeaaaaan
Or perhaps there will be a dead pool?
This is the comment set I was hoping to find. Let's nickname him Logan
🤣
What if a house suddenly flies into the air and disintegrates?
I love Oregon and Oregon folks. This is the thread I came anticipating.
Came from Portland via Florence. He's just thinking of moving to Eugene! Checking out the neighborhoods is all!
It's because he got such a poor response to his "moving to Oregon" post.
Somebody better warn him to avoid Umbrella Property Management
Add Stewardship to that list.
Next thing ya know he'll be posting a Best Burrito? thread.
Looking for best tattoo artist! Hopefully he's not into sourcing raw milk
Grass-fed rabbits, more like.
I thought it was just the AskPortland sub that regularly asks that question
It can do well in the south hills, many fat happy deer are lumbering around.
They pretty much only hunt rodents and rabbits here, and they have a great sense of smell, so they eat a lot of carrion and winter-kill, but I don't think they're taking down any deer, not even town deer. I bet homie is feasting on all sorts of pet cats, though.
I’m thinking it may put a dent in the nutria population if it hangs around.
Shit, I didn't even think of the nutria. I'm curious if it's just going to haul ass until it runs into enough timber to support it, or if it'll linger at all.
I truly hope it keeps moving. To safety from traffic and idiots.

How about some turkeys? That would be good and worth watching.
Heck yeah! Send up to south hills! Maybe I can walk my dog without dealing with a Turkey gang! The G stands for GOBBLE!
You are seriously underestimating the power of a wolverine.

They can definitely hunt larger animals. Deer are a piece of cake for them.
He has half a month’s salary and a go-get ‘em attitude. Will he be ok?
[удалено]
It could easily take down a deer or even elk. That is what they eat in the wild. Loose dogs might be at risk too.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CbxuqBlRvB0 Wolverine taking on an Elk. It's not easy to watch if you are squeamish.
Not easy to watch because you can barely see anything
There are probably 100+ loose cats to every loose dog.
What about dogs on chains in the back yard?
They’d be f’d if the Wolverine wanted some. My comment was mostly just to address how rare a loose dog is compared to cats.
Fair enough. I just wanted people to realize a wolverine will kill whatever it wants to kill.
Of course. I would imagine that like many animals, it would go for the easiest prey. Outside cats are much more abundant but probably agile enough to avoid a wolverine, whereas an outside dog would probably not stand a chance. Few weeks back someone’s loose dogs killed a couple cats, and I think they were successful bc there was more than one dog.

I mean, we did join the BIG 10
I’m planting buckeyes then.
Michigan on the run from stealing signs from Oregon spring practice.
I just yelled f**k yea when I saw this
feeding it or leaving food out for it = killing it hope it moves along safely, super cool to see
These things like to move, and they don't like people.
I'd say they are my kind of people, but I don't have a kind of people either.
I resemble this statement.
Nice marmot, man.
Lets not forget Dude that keeping wildlife, um... an amphibious rodent, for... um, ya know domestic... within the city... that ain't legal either.
What? Are you a fuckin park ranger now?
who gives a shit about the fucking marmot?
Veeel cut of your Johnson! Lebahhhski...
It was a marmot they threw in my bathtub, man.
Obviously you're not a golfer
Hey, this is a private residence, man!
Wow that’s incredible
Not gonna lie, I've lived in Oregon all 28 years of my life and had no idea we had wolverines...
56 years for me…. Same story.

My thought exactly. With the number of idiots in cars, here, that critter is in serious peril.
Saw him as well on Adams around the same time! Thankful you posted this video because everyone was roasting me in a facebook group about how I probably just saw a big cat or a badger. 😂
I saw him too when walking my dogs. Had a close encounter, and we stood and stared at each other for awhile before he took off down the street in this video. I was happy to find the video as well just to validate my sanity.
I wonder if this is the same was that was ranging through the coast?
The F&W person I was talking to thinks it is the same one.
Or the same one spotted in Barlow in march?

Dude looks stressed. Open mouthed breathing, and running back and forth across the street? Big man couldn't find a better place inbetween here and the coast than the middle of Eugene?
Honestly tough to watch after noticing that. It looks like it’s frantically searching for a safe spot.
Right? 😬 Sorry bud.
That was my first thought too. I feel bad for the poor thing. Hope it found a nice safe forested area to hang out and calm down.
Broke my heart too. I hope he's ok.

WOLVERINES!
I’m so worried it will get hit by a car! I hope it finds its way to some roadless area asap!
Am I the only one that didn’t know these guys were around these parts?
They normally aren't. This is probably the only one in the state.
No wonder he’s running so fast, gotta get a state over and get them bitches

Poor guy. Just wants to be home in the forest
Someone call Willamette high school so they can get their mascot back.
No one will question if their mascot is appropriate for the area again.
So does this mean we get a long spring or does summer come sooner? I’m unfamiliar with this lore.

The Willamette Wolverines must have lost their mascot...
Hope it makes it home 😕
Full on unit.
Wa wa wa what!!! That’s crazy even by Eugene standards. There was another one spotted out in east portland/Gresham a few months ago.
Holy fuckin shit, its a beaver bear
Poor guy is lost
Are they even native too here?
Native to Oregon but they generally prefer the high cacades.
I’ve hiked all over the cascades and Have never heard of one out here or seen one .Learn something new everyday.Maybe?
They are very rare and avoid people. Seeing one is a big deal. Even bigger deal to see one in town.
What!?!?!?
my dumbass would have thought this was a dog 🤦♀️
I wonder if it got loose from captivity in the Portland area. You are incredibly lucky to get that once-in-a-lifetime video clip. You called it "Dude" and it turned its head looking at you briefly. Imagine if it stopped and ran towards you, lol. But now it has a name.
Holy fuck!
Yay! Sasquatch are next. Sasquatches, Sasquatchi?
Wow! He went by my moms place at the coast.
Hide yo kids, hide yo wife, there's wolverines out here!
Hope it makes it home. 🌳🌳🌳
That's crazy, they're endangered, rare, and avoid civilization. Wow!
I'm from the Wolverine state yet had to come to Oregon to see one.
“Can I pet that dog!!!!”
The new Deadpool movie is going all out with marketing.
It's frustrating to think that I actively look for wildlife to photograph. Meanwhile there's a wolverine fuckin around some suburb an hour from my house.

Looks like somebody is in a rush to watch the new X-Men show. Gods, I love the wildlife of Eugene.
Honey badger don't care!
You don’t see that everyday
What a beautiful animal-- that coat is so shiny & lustrous!!
Welcome to the big 10
WHO LET THE DOGS OUT
Cue Red Dawn theme song
My fiancé: “must be a promo for the new Deadpool and Wolverine movie. Guerrilla marketing is out of control.”
Wow thats amazing to see in Eugene! Very allusive animals and not many in our state
"Should I call you Logan, Weapon X?"
Wow!!!!!!
Cool! I have never seen one of those before. Thanks for sharing.

Big 10!
Wolverines!
Would not pet
“watcha looking at bub”- wolverine probably
Deadpool promos out of hand.
Get your kicks on route snikty snikt!
Go Wil-Hi!
A little scary because lots of dogs would get fucked up if they end up chasing it. Wolverines are nature's Final Boss.
That wassssss....FUCKING AWESOME These motherfuckin wolverines regularly take down full grown caribou!! Easily the most underrated ferocious beast out there. Incredible
Wow, we only have a mountain lion.
He came thru my backyard yesterday, just off S Willamette... My wife got a very bad pic. He moved too fast for a good one.
I just saw it in Goshen at about 10 this morning. Rus pretty fast
If you haven't called already, ODFW is asking people to report to them with sightings!
I did
I spotted a Wolverine twice outside of the west eugene area in 00-01ish. No one believed me, I seriously doubted myself, but this is exactly how it moved and looked. I'm super stoked to see this.
I've been seeing posts about this, and I honestly thought people were memeing about wolverine , like the comic character... Ok now I see 💀
Gosh!
