Wolverine Trail cam photo courtesy Yellowstone National Park

A rare sighting of a wolverine has been reported at Yellowstone National Park. Park officials posted the finding on their Facebook page on January 13th. Biologists were excited to find the elusive mammal when it triggered a remote trail camera on December 4, 2020 in a snow-covered forest outside the Mammoth Hot Springs area.

In the Facebook comments, people report wolverine sightings in Lamar Valley in 2010 and 2019, near Heart Lake in 2020, near the east entrance in about 2012 and 2017, in the Canyon area around 2018, and reports of other sightings in the 1990s.
