WOLVERINE, Gulo gulo 



(Kavik) 



Range. — Northern North America from Alaska 

 to Labrador. 



Hahitat. — Forests and tiindra areas, from sea 

 level to high in mountains. 



Forms in AIa,ska. — Recently the American and 

 Old World wolverines were shown (Kurten and 

 Rausch, 1959) to be conspecific. What then be- 

 comes the race hisms occurs throughout most of 

 the Alaska mainland. The forms kafschem^kensis 

 (type locality: Katschemak [ = Kachemak] Bay, 

 Kenai Peninsula) and hylaeus (type locality : Su- 

 sitna River, near Mount McKinley) have been de- 

 scribed as separate species, but are generally re- 

 garded as indistinguishable from the race luscus.
