Wolverines

One of the most dangerous animals in Canada is the wolverine which is the largest species of land mammal in the Mustelidae phylum. It is a strong carnivore that lives alone. The wolverine has a reputation for ferocity and strength 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. The Wolverine is mostly found in remote areas of northern boreal woods, as well as in sub arctic and alpine tundra, with the majority of them being in Northern Canada.

Despite being short, furry, and stumpy, wolverines should be feared. They can chew through frozen animal meat because of the strength of their well-developed neck and shoulder muscles. They are thought to have no fear, and they have even been observed chasing bears away from their own kills!

Their jaws are so powerful that they can pulverize bone all the way to the marrow. They have exceptionally sharp fangs and claws and can run at speeds of up to 24 km/h. Few reported instances of wolverine attacks on people do exist, though.
