The Real Wolverine : Not X-Men




Everyones familiar with Wolverine from the X-men and his trademark mega sharp adamantium claws but have you ever wondered what a real wolverine looks and behaves like ? Well Wolverines are the largest land dwelling member of the weasel family (Giant Otter). The wolverine's fur is dense and does not retain mch of water which makes it very much resistant to the cold conditions. Thisproperty of it's fur makes it a hunter's attraction for making leather products out of the wolverine's fur. They look more like a small bear than an actual weasel with a long tail.
In terms of size they can grow as long as four feet and weigh as much as 40 pounds.All wolverines have two light coloured stripes along their back and carnivorous in nature, theyare known to eat plant materials too. The wolverines are extremely muscular and powerful for their size and have been known to kill and consume animals much larger than themselves.

The wolverines are found mainly in parts of northern Canada, the Arctic, Siberia, Scandinavia and also in parts of Russia.

Are you beginning to see the similarities between Logan from X-men and Wolverines now ???
