Wolverine
There are two wolverines at Bristol Zoo Project; Alice and her daughter Scottie. Find them in Bear Wood.
Fun Fact
In the wild, wolverines like to mask their own scent by rolling in things like deer poo. At the zoo, our keepers spray the logs around their habitat with perfume so the wolverines can rub against them in order to exhibit this natural behaviour!
Conservation
Wolverines are listed as Least Concern by the IUCN, which means they’re not in danger of extinction in the wild.
However, the Eurasian population is classified as vulnerable.
Habitat
Our family of wolverines live alongside bears, wolves and lynxes in our award-winning Bear Wood habitat.
See if you can spot them climbing a tree or running between their dens as you wander along the treetop walkway!
The wolverines at Bristol Zoo Project are kindly sponsored by Uplands.
