I bought this on a whim while visiting Glacier Nat'l Park in Montana, and couldnt put it down. Now I want to volunteer on the next monitoring project I can! Doug is a master of drawing you into these worlds! I'm reading ALL of his books now
Wolverines are very cool + this is a peek into their lives via researcher biologist Rick Yates’ Wolverine Project and it’s many dedicated volunteers. They catch, tag + track the population (approx 50) in Glacier National Park during winters. They ski and hike endlessly seeking signals and noting locations. Wolverines run over mountains as if they are flat- their homes are high glaciated areas, threatened by climate change…. If ever there was a good case for wildlife corridors and a rethinking of public lands, it’s the gulo gulo.

Incredible book that inspired a love of wolverines for how impressive they are!!!
Beautifully written book about a wonderful and mysterious animal. It wasn't possible for me to read this book without totally falling in love with the wolverine--as an animal, and the individuals into whose lives the reader gets to look into, however briefly.
This book is absolutely recommended. (And after this you might want to watch the episode of PBS's Nature called "Wolverine: Chasing the Phantom".)

This book takes a little known seldom seen animal with a mean reputation and finally let's us see it's many sides. I was already interested in this feisty animal and after reading this book I have become the wolverine's number one fan. In fact as a seasonal park ranger in Yellowstone I not only do my wildlife program on wolverines, I have incorporated them into all my programs. This book made me realize how important telling their true story is for this species survival.

Loved every page. What an incredible, nuanced and inspiring animal we must take more action to understand and protect. Hell yeah, Wolverines.
Outstanding story about the Glacier Wolverine project and the denizens it followed. If this doesn't make you want to hit the high country in Glkacier NP you're beyond hope.
