From Kit to Carnivore

Joni had done a lot, too. She’d managed to give birth and had protected her kits from other predators. Typically, female wolverines wean their kits at three months old, in spring. Then the babies remain with their mother through the summer. By fall, they are usually able to hunt and scavenge without mom’s help. Photo credit: CascadesWolverineProject by David Moskowitz
