Wildlife experts in California have been all excited of late because of some confirmed sightings of at least one wolverine in Tahoe National Forest. The animals have supposedly been extinct in California since the 1920s. Now I see we have a photograph of one of the animals. Also someone has done DNA analysis of the hair and scat that has been found, and that suggests that the creature is an immigrant rather than a survivor of the native population, though where it has come from is unclear. I am waiting for some politician to suggest that it stowed away on a truck from Mexico.

Still, one more thing to be wary about when we visit Kevin’s folks up in the Sierras. Hopefully this one doesn’t have adamantium claws.
