Just turned on the PBS show "Nature" and it's all about the Wolverine. I had no one else to tell, so you're the lucky ones.

I love me some wolverine footage. I only know about the one in near Ubly in Michigan. An Ohioan recently reminded me how we got our nickname:

Since a wolverine has a reputation of being ornery, Ohioans called Michiganians "wolverines" as the two sides struggled over who owned the disputed Toledo Strip.

That's one theory about the nickname.  There are others.  Some say it had to do with the fur trade, which the region's economy was based on during colonial times.
