Abundance Notes
Wolverine have very large ranges, so their density is low even in good habitats. Further, only occasional observations of a few individuals are reported in GTNP (e.g., Inman et al 2003, Clark et al. 1989, WYNDD 2005) so they are likely quite rare within park boundaries.; Data Source: Doug Keinath - Lead Zoologist - Wyoming Natural Diversity Database
