The Canadian voyageurs call the wolverene "carcajou;" while among the ❋ Mayne Reid (1850)
The wolverene is the fur-trapper's greatest foe, and, as may be supposed, he has no mercy shown him. ❋ William Henry Giles Kingston (1847)
Where the wolverene tumbles their packs from the camp and the grave-mound they made them; ❋ Rudyard Kipling (1900)
But more than this clouded his mind, he had been brought to say good-bye to Jessamine Buckner, who had scarcely seen him, and to give her a wolverene-skin, a hunting trophy. ❋ Owen Wister (1899)
Scarface went over to the forest and looked all about for the wolverene, but could not see him; so he sat down on a log to rest. ❋ George Bird Grinnell (1893)
Early in the morning they set out, and the wolverene showed Scarface the trail, and he followed it until he came to the water's edge. ❋ George Bird Grinnell (1893)
Some one close to him said, "What is it, my brother?" and looking around, he saw the wolverene sitting there. ❋ George Bird Grinnell (1893)
In short, it was, as the reader may have guessed, a wolverene, or glutton, an animal rarely seen in Maine even by the early settlers, for its habitat is much farther north. ❋ Unknown (1887)
The wolverene, as this strange quadruped is called by zoologists, lives in hollow trees or rocky caves, whence it issues at night and creates great havoc amongst beavers, musk-rats, and other rodents, sometimes fighting with a fox or a wolf for its spoils. ❋ Unknown (1874)
None of them are arboreal, although in olden times marvellous tales were told of the wolverene or glutton as being in the habit of dropping down from branches of trees on the backs of large animals, clinging on to them and draining their life blood as they fled. ❋ Robert Armitage Sterndale (1870)
So, too, is his cousin, the wolverene of America; as the fur trappers have had sad reasons to know -- whenever the creature has come upon a store of their provisions. ❋ Mayne Reid (1850)
The fur of the wolverene is one of the _staple_ articles of trade of the ❋ Mayne Reid (1850)
In a short time the wolverene had reached the fork of one of these; and, crawling out upon it, he laid himself flat along the branch and looked downward. ❋ Mayne Reid (1850)
At the crack, the astonished beavers leaped back into the water, while the wolverene dropped from his perch -- a little sooner, perhaps, than he had intended -- and rolled over the ground evidently wounded. ❋ Mayne Reid (1850)
In fact, it would have been anything but an easy task to have opened one of them from above; and no animal -- not even the wolverene with his crooked claws, -- could have done it. ❋ Mayne Reid (1850)
The red couguar and brown wolverene crouch along the edges of the thicket, to contest with jackal and wolf the possession of the carcass, where some stray quadruped has fallen a victim to the hungry troop; while black vultures wheeling aloft, await the issue of the conflict. ❋ Mayne Reid (1850)
The glutton and wolverene are, in fact, very like the common badger in their habits; except that being much larger and stronger animals, they prey upon larger game. ❋ Mayne Reid (1850)
He is supposed to be identical with the wolverene of North America; and if this be so, his range extends all round the Arctic zone of the globe: since the wolverene is found throughout the whole extent of the Hudson's ❋ Mayne Reid (1850)
_Grison_, which, in appearance and habits, somewhat resembles the wolverene. ❋ Mayne Reid (1850)
