Camera Captures Rare Wolverine Images In Utah-First In 30 Years
State wildlife officials captured rare images of a wolverine in the Uinta Mountains.
Trail cameras snapped the pictures in February, but the cameras were not retrieved until later this spring.
A wolverine has not been spotted in Utah in more than 30 years.

And home vs. BYU next year as well.
Like winning the lottery and dying the next day
he thought, "Well isn't this nice?"
Shit's getting intense.
It's rare that our football scouts are caught on camera like that... very rare. Like once every 3 decades rare.
there is a D-1 school in Utah named the Wolverines (Utah Valley, they are in the WAC).
Wonder how they got their nickname, given the relative lack of Wolverines within the state.
and who's going to tell him 'no' when he wants to watch the utes practice so he can pick off all their sets and signals? it won't be utes!
Wolverines are hard to see, much less catch. Jeremy Gallon had this down cold.
Having lived in Utah they will probably try and kill it to graze more sheep. Hope not though. The Uintas have so much potential but the locals see them as valuable only for forage, wood or oil.
The Deseret, UT paper had a nice spread on this actually, and one of the more intriguing comments regarding wolverine sightings in Utah happened to be:
"I saw one riding my 4 wheeler on the Skyline drive by Fairview last Summer."
The Michigan difference indeed. Obviously, this wolverine spent a bit of time on North Campus, right?
and the anchor is a fox.
and I bet Fox New's HR dept has reached out to her - perfect Stepford Wife for rotation

I love wolverines
Ain't even buzzin.
Here is an image of the wolverine that was first discovered in Utah last year:
near Whitehall, MI around '84, '85. Quite different than the night time shot. This particular wolverine was running across the snow on a sunny afternoon. Pretty big, according to the experts who estimated his weight close to 35 lbs. As Michigan fans we're all aware they are pound for pound one of nature's most ferocious fighters. However they are extremely swift and lifht footed. This particular wolverine was moving so swiftly and lightly across the snow the impressions left by his feet were level with the snow's height. Also did not realize they are multi-colored. It was a dark brown but had two organge patches, one on each side that ran from right near the shoulder to the middle of the back. The color contrast and spacing of the patches actually resembled the winged helmet and if I had not been aware that we had borrowed Princeton's design, I would have jumped to the wrong conclusion as to the unique design of our helmets. What the hell it was doing running solo near Whitehall, VanBergen's hometown as an aside, is anyone's guess. None of the experts asked had any idea where it came from, whether it had become lost or virtually any idea how a wolverine ended up in Michigan's lower penninsula. About as rare as a sighting in UT, I guess.
