implanted in these animals that, like tame ravens, it does not appear 
to care much what it steals so that it can exercise its favorite propensity 
to commit mischief. An instance occurred within my own knowledge 
in which a hunter and his family having left their lodge unguarded 
during their absence, on their return found it completely gutted—the 
walls were there but nothing else. Blankets, guns, kettles, axes, cans, 
knives and all other paraphernalia of a trapper’s tent had vanished, and 
the tracks left by the beast showed who had been the thief. The family 
set to work, and by carefully following up his paths, recovered, with some 
trifling exceptions, the whole of the lost property.’’* 
It has generally been supposed by modern naturalists that Wolver- 
ines do not attack and kill large mammals, such as the Moose and Elk, 
although they eat them when they find them dead, but according to 
Mr. J. Keele of the Canadian Geological Survey this is not always the 
case. On March 27, 1908, on Third Lake, Ross River (an affluent of 
the Pelly), he saw a Moose floundering in deep snow and he and his 
companion shot it and found that it had already been nearly killed by 
a Wolverine that had leaped on its back from a tree.

Map illustrating the supposed range of the Wolverine, (Gulo luscus) up to the latter part of the last 
century (about 1870 to 1880). It is very doubtful that the species occurs at the present time in 
northern Wisconsin or Michigan.
