(James Shook | The Utah Division of Wildlife Resources) Visitors to Utah’s Antelope Island shot this photograph of 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 Tuesday appears to be a wolverine.
