Semi-OT: Wolverine Seen in Sierra Nevada
Cool little bit of news came across my Twitter today, thanks to @USGSMinerals (my friend does their Twitter).
A Wolverine was spotted in the Sierra Nevada for the first time since the 1920's.
I believe it is looking for its lost khakis:

That was me hiking last weekend. False alarm.
I don't always recommend manscaping, but in your case, I truly have to.
Just not very many of them in the lower 48.
Let's hope he runs into this guy.
Psh, what kind of unathletic slob needs hiking polls?
Mountian climber here... They can really save your knees and ankles on big rocky descents; expecially when carrying a big pack. I don't use them but I bet I will in 10 years.
That said; this guy looks like a reall tool.
California recruiting is for real
How did he get into the bottle?
$20 says it was sent to California to hunt down Trent Baalke.
All your state are belong to us.
Very cool. Hope they start to become more common in the lower 48.

They are very concerned about a Wolverine resurgence in Ohio
Very rare.
Looks like he thinks that is a buckeye tree the way he is pissing on it with an EUTM
Champions of the west
Unbelievable animals.
They don't live very long (9-10 is pretty old), but man do they do a lot of living.
The ultimate example of EUTM in the universe.
Enthusiasm unknown to wildlife
Well, if they fell into the San Joaquin River, they are probably stuck somewhere in San Francisco Bay by now, so there might be no use in looking for them if that's the case.
That being said, it is cool to see wolverines make a comeback....in many ways and all over the country as well.
Wolverine Satellite Camps? I'm sure we'll hear from the SEC on this too.
Definitely not OT. This is about as topical as we can get in the offseason...
Wolverines sightings serves no purpose to the student athletes. Any sightings of any form only limits my time with my family. This is nothing more than illegal recruiting. It is pointless and therefore banning it is the only logical solution!
Signed,
Lord Saban, his deputy Mr. Sankey and the entire SEC contingent.
since the inception of satellite camps? I don't think so. Not for a moment.
All wildlife in the area, beware.
And you domestic life, might want to keep your eyes peeled too
So this is like finding a dire wolf south of The Wall, yes?
All of Harbaugh's children must have their own wolverine!
EDIT: Just realized why I would not like the result of this analogy. Disregard.
Those things scare the fuck out of me.
My wife and daughter saw one near the Continental Divide west of Boulder on Friday. Sightings in these parts are still fairly rare, but increasing.
You sure it wasn't just some bad weed?
Saw this story last night on the Washington post website.
Hope Buddy can find some female Wolverine to breed with. Wolverines are very virile and potent.
Truckee is West of the Lake Tahoe area. Michael Corleone's house is on the lake. Fredo is in cement on the bottom. Its beautiful up there.
Its great to have a team mascot that is actually alive, and not some inanimate object like a Nut or dead warrior.
Truckee and surrounding enviros are pretty nice. Lots of mountain meadows, lakes, and trails.
First satellite camp next summer to be held at Donner Pass. Intensity will be off the charts, kids will be eating each other alive.
The Wolverines are recruiting EVERYWHERE! They are leaving no stick or stone unturned.
On his way to Palo Alto no doubt.
I've never seen one in Montana; but I have some friends that have seen them in Glacier NP. There's a few in Yellowstone and the other big wildernesses; but their core range is interior BC where there's lots of roadless mountains.
