With strong limbs, broad and rounded head, small eyes and short rounded ears, it most closely resembles a large fisher. Physical characteristics Īnatomically, the wolverine is an elongated animal that is low to the ground. Recently compiled genetic evidence suggests most of North America's wolverines are descended from a single source, likely originating from Beringia during the last glaciation and rapidly expanding thereafter, though considerable uncertainty to this conclusion is due to the difficulty of collecting samples in the extremely depleted southern extent of the range. However, the most currently accepted taxonomy recognizes either the two continental subspecies or G. vancouverensis) and the Kenai Peninsula in Alaska ( G. Some authors had described as many as four additional North American subspecies, including ones limited to Vancouver Island ( G. There are two subspecies: the Old World form, Gulo gulo gulo, and the New World form, G. Genetic evidence suggests that the wolverine is most closely related to the tayra and martens, all of which shared a Eurasian ancestor. Wolverine skull from the Pleistocene of Germany at the Natural History Museum, Berlin The wolverine is now essentially absent from the southern end of its range in both Europe and North America.
Its population has steadily declined since the 19th century owing to trapping, range reduction and habitat fragmentation. state of Alaska, the mainland Nordic countries of Europe, and throughout western Russia and Siberia. The wolverine is found primarily in remote reaches of the Northern boreal forests and subarctic and alpine tundra of the Northern Hemisphere, with the greatest numbers in Northern Canada, the U.S.
The wolverine has a reputation for ferocity and strength out of proportion to its size, with the documented ability to kill prey many times larger than itself. It is a muscular carnivore and a solitary animal. She is currently brain-dead.The wolverine ( / ˈ w ʊ l v ə r iː n/), Gulo gulo ( Gulo is Latin for " glutton"), also referred to as the glutton, carcajou, or quickhatch (from East Cree, kwiihkwahaacheew), is the largest land-dwelling species of the family Mustelidae.
MeMe's speech pattern is off possibly due to the experimentation done to her and also trying to communicate through the E.M. Attributes PowersĮlectromagnetic Transference: MeMe has the ability to neurally transfer her psyche through the electromagnetic spectrum allowing her to interface with any kind of mechanical device that draws energy from these sources, so far she can unlock doors and she represents herself as a floating digital head in which to communicate with others. Being comatose next to MeMe allowed Hope Summers to mimic her abilities in order to impersonate the real MeMe to be close to her father, Cable. X-Force freed her and took her back to their base. MeMe was a newly activated mutant who was abducted and turned into a weapon, with her family being killed in the process.
