Tooth and Claw: Wolverines 1 of 4

Adam Hart investigates, do wolverines deserve their reputation for gluttony and ferocity?

What do you know about wolverines? Well, they’re far more than just a superhero played by Hugh Jackman. In Tooth and Claw, Adam Hart explores our complex and challenging relationships with Earth’s greatest predators - through the people who have spent their lives studying, protecting and, at times, narrowly escaping them!
In this episode he investigates the largest terrestrial member of the weasel family, often known as the glutton – the wolverine! With a reputation for ferocity, these solitary killers use snowstorms to hunt much larger prey. Found in the snowy tundra and boreal forests of the Northern Hemisphere, their future looks uncertain – coming into conflict with Scandinavian farmers by hunting their reindeer, and threatened by climate change in North America and Mongolia – have we misunderstood wolverines? And can we learn to co-exist with them? Presented by Adam Hart
