Fewer than 10 wolverines are thought to call Yellowstone and its 2,200,000 acres home.
A tour guide and former park ranger last weekend had what he called a"phenomenal" encounter with one of Yellowstone National Park's rarest and most elusive animals: a wolverine.MacNeil Lyons, owner of Yellowstone Insight, was with a tour group in the park’s northern reaches March 5 when the visitors spotted what he calls a"unicorn."
When Lyons spotted the animal this month, it was the first time he had done so in more than 20 years of working and traveling in the park. “I would like to think that this might have been the first human encounter that this elusive, more backcountry creature had,” Lyons said. “A wolverine is a scavenger, and it’ll eat anything it can put its mouth around, and in that bleak, high-snow country, it’s looking for dead animals, anything that’s died, a carcass,” Halfpenny said.
