The Wolverine Way

De: Douglas H. Chadwick, Rick Ridgeway - foreword

Narrado por: John Bricker

Glutton, demon of destruction, symbol of slaughter, mightiest of wilderness villains . . . The wolverine comes marked with a reputation based on myth and fancy. Yet this enigmatic animal is more complex than the legends that surround it.

With a shrinking wilderness and global warming, the future of the wolverine is uncertain. The Wolverine Way reveals the natural history of this species and the forces that threaten its future, engagingly told by Douglas Chadwick, who volunteered with the Glacier Wolverine Project. This five-year study in Glacier National Park—which involved dealing with blizzards, grizzlies, sheer mountain walls, and other daily challenges to survival—uncovered key missing information about the wolverine's habitat, social structure, and reproduction habits. Wolverines, according to Chadwick, are the land equivalent of polar bears in regard to the impacts of global warming. The plight of wolverines adds to the call for wildlife corridors that connect existing habitat that is proposed by the Freedom to Roam coalition.

Good title

I had to read this book to an a college class, it kept me in deeply and kept my attention 100% of the time, I’m glad to have listened this book and it has brought new perspectives on Gulo gulo,

The narrating is top tier and the stories of wolverines.

This book is worth the listen and read. It keeps locked in and not wanting to stop. The wild stories of the Wolverines is unbelievable at times. But the stories are all true and leaves your mouth open in amazement. The narration of this book is also great and has great humor at times.
