Second wolverine sighting likely ‘transient’ creature

Wolverines were once driven out of Utah, but some seem to be starting to return, an expert says.

(James Shook | Utah Division of Wildlife Resources) Visitors to Utah’s Antelope Island saw a wolverine on May 4 running across Bridger Bay at the northwest end of the island in the Great Salt Lake. The rare predator is almost never seen in Utah, but state wildlife biologists have confirmed the animal in this and other photos and video footage shot July 1 appears to be a wolverine.
