New nature documentary about the wolverine
A new film about wolverines just came out. It's called "Wolverine: Ghost of the Northern Forest" on "The Nature of Things".
If you like this type of nature documentary, here's the best link I could find: http://news.yahoo.com/video/wolverine-ghost-northern-forest-010000790.h…

8/10 Stars
SPOILER ALERT

It's mostly 60 minutes of Harbaugh scheming to catch and breed the Wolverine. Lots of trap building, scent laying, riving swimming, tree climbing. He gets a good trail on one and eventually catches the damn thing with his bare hands. They wrestle in a wild death battle. Harbaugh's face got all scratched to hell. But I'll be damned if he didn't get that little beast in a sack and take it away for breeding... only later that evening to emerge from his cabin/science-breeding-lab just to let the thing go, saying "I had a great talk with that majestic fury creatire and he convinced me he'd be better off free." When asked how the wolverine communicated, Harbaugh stared blankly at the reporter for some time and eventually responded "I speak wolverine."
Not a bad film. I'd give it 10 stars except for the rather poor sound editing. Worth a Netflix viewing for sure.

watched a couple minutes and will end up showing the kids later this afternoon.
have been up in areas like that hunting and fishing, and i could so empathize with the filmmaker as it showed him snow shoeing, tracking, etc. that is beautiful stuff. the kids are going to love it.

If anything truly definitive was found, it would be dominating the news in every media channel and outlet all over the world. "Finding Bigfoot" is as reality-based as "Ancient Astronauts."

My daughter always accuses me of watching Hillbilly Hand fishing. Not sure they find intelligent life on that show either.

Watched it, it was interesting. Be warned though, if you leave it running after it ends you will be taken to some poltical B.S.

I keep getting a voice-over message saying "This content is currently unavailable."
There's also small type below the video window saying the episode is only viewable in Canada.

I'm Canadian and I never realized it didn't work out of country.
My bad for the bad link.

just watched it with the kids - they loved it, as per expectations.
February 28th, 2016 at 3:19 PM ^
Just invite us all up to stay at your place for the Calgary Stampede, and it will be cool.
February 28th, 2016 at 3:21 PM ^
I watched it too. No problem in the US of A

does not work. OP link works fine (but for who knows how long).

wolverines enjoy eating beaver.

Fantastic! Was just gonna take a quick peak... totally captured me.
Ferocious, Intelligent, Stealth, Adaptive, Playful, Rare.... Magestic
Strongest bite force per area of any carnivore on earth! (Leaders and Best)Our Coach
Took him 21 days in blind to capture his footage, while almost every other animal conceivable was caught on film first, including big cats.
It seem they sure love them some Beaver....
It's great to be a Michigan Wolverine!

I saw some replies about showing this to kids, just be warned there's a scene with some nasty footage of a dead wolverine around 34 minutes in. Might want to skip that.
February 28th, 2016 at 3:14 PM ^
no different than when we 'harvest' livestock. blood and hides everywhere.
February 28th, 2016 at 1:44 PM ^

I always enjoy watching nature docs on this animal. So fierce and savage , yet majestic. Is it not the best Mascot ever??
February 28th, 2016 at 3:25 PM ^
What would I rather be?
A fierce, majestic, almost mythical creature, that roams the wilderness wild and free?
Or a bunch of long-gone Greek guys; or a nondescript little tree?
February 28th, 2016 at 4:36 PM ^
were total assholes. So it probably fits.
February 28th, 2016 at 4:46 PM ^
Delightful.

I have donated to this organization several times... and noted it a seemingly honest and worthy group.
Conservation & management group from Idaho.

I have seen the PBS nature program on wolverines in the past. This is the canadian "Nature of Things" with Suzuki.
First time wolverine kits captured on film!
New insights: Wolverines eat beaver, males bond, and offspring follow parents tracks to scavenger food!
