Wolverines eat both meat and vegetation

Wolverines are omnivores, meaning they consume both meat and plants. A large game like caribou, moose, and mountain goats, as well as lesser animals like ground squirrels and rodents, as well as berries and bird eggs, are common food for wolverines. However, they prefer meat and will go to considerable lengths to obtain it. In search of food, they can travel up to 15 miles (24 kilometers) in a day and would even consume dead animals that they did not hunt.


Wolverines have an acute sense of smell and are capable of detecting prey 20 feet beneath the snow. They will kill animals that are hibernating by digging into their burrows.


Wolverines are sly hunters when looking for food. They can smash a cadaver and eat through bone because they have powerful jaws and teeth. They have been observed consuming the teeth and bones of their prey.


Additionally, wolverines appear to understand how to stockpile food. According to research, wolverines use snow to keep their food cold, which is one of the most interesting facts about wolverines. The Wolverines will return to their stash to get a meal when food is in short supply.
