Cattle are not something they’re known to attack and eat on a regular basis. They’re scavengers known to eat carrion in addition to smaller and mid-size mammals. Have there been any documented wolverine attacks on cattle over the last 30 years in Colorado? DR

There are no known free wolverine attacks on humans. They will attack sheep. Cows, particularly in a herd, are too big.

Kind of funny, but I just ordered the book, returned to this thread, and found your recommendation. Good choice!

Have there been any documented wolverine attacks on cattle over the last 30 years in Colorado? DR As far as we know, there has only been one wolverine in Colorado in the last 90 years, and it moved on to North Dakota, where it was shot by a rancher who claimed it was tormenting his cattle. See link.
And the North Dakota wildlife agency claimed the rancher had the right to kill the rare animal.

From what I remember they have hyperthyroidism (go GO GO!), big paws, and no fear whatsoever. I think that there are one or two reputable videos on youtube. Maybe search for both Chadwick and wolverine. glacierguides.com/blog/wolverines/

"How can you deny the use of automatic weapons when you unleash a terror like this into an area? Shaking in my boots makes my trigger finger itchy. Marmots are bad enough", said the Texan on his way to the Colorado dude ranch.

There are no known free wolverine attacks on humans. I'm not a college football fan, but I'm pretty sure that either the University of Michigan or Michigan State Univwesity is known as the Wolverines. I'm even more certain that there's a very good reason they don't have a live mascot at home games.
