Wolverines

The biggest land-dwelling member of the Mustelidae family is the wolverine, also known as the glutton, carcajou, or quickhatch. It is a strong carnivore that lives alone. The wolverine has a reputation for ferocity and power that are out of proportion to its size, and it has been shown to be capable of taking down prey that is several times its own size. Wolverines frequently go for live food that is relatively simple to catch, such as animals captured in traps, young mammals, and deer (including adult moose and elk) who are debilitated from the winter or paralyzed by heavy snowfall. Birds' eggs, birds (particularly geese), roots, seeds, bug larvae, and berries are occasionally added to their meals as supplements.

Wolverines is one of the predators of moose that eat moose. Given the size disparity between the two creatures, a wolverine killing a moose may be extremely shocking. Wolverines are moose predators, but they require the ideal circumstances to make a kill. An adult moose can be killed by a wolverine. However, they must be ill or hurt for long enough for the wolverines to overcome them. Wolverines can also aid in the killing of weak moose by starving them and exhausting them with heavy snow.

Wolverines are excellent at hunting prey in harsh winter conditions. Snow causes moose to move more slowly, which benefits the wolverine. Wolverines may severely injure moose during a protracted attack thanks to their sharp claws, sturdy jaws, and potent fangs. When moose are killed by other animals and left as carrion, wolverines frequently devour the flesh. Because of this, wolverines frequently hang around with wolves, waiting for them to kill a moose.
