FINLAND - Wolverine and Bear!

Wolverines are the largest terrestrial mustelid. Mustelids include mammals such as Otters, Badgers, Martens etc. My recent trip to Finland included two nights at a great lodge near the town of Joensuu in southern Finland. We had two nights in a number of different hides and saw a minimum of eight individual Wolverines and a Brown Bear during this time. I shall be organising a "Wolverine extension" to my normal Wise Birding Owls trip again next year.

    Bears and wolverines, fortunately, not seen in the wild (the zoo though). Bear's droppings in the nearby forest has been reflected. Fortunately, they are usually away from humans.
