Glutton for
Punishment
*****
I really liked this article. This was an article about one of Canada 's
more mysterious animals, the wolverine. It
talks about how a team of researchers has tagged and collared some wolverines,
and about what they've learned about them from this. For instance, they found that wolverines have
interesting policies when it comes to boundaries. A young wolverine may not leave the one that
he was born in, and might decide to stay, in his father's territory. Another interesting fact was that wolverines
have very strong pair bonding. A female
who has already mated will not mate with any male other than the one she first
mated with.
I liked this article because it
provided good information about an animal that I've always found
interesting. I'm slightly biased,
because I love wildlife, but this article could be interesting to anyone else
as well. This article was a bit long,
but it uses the space well. At the same
time that you're hearing about wolverines and their habits, you're brought
along with a researcher who's trying to track one of the tagged
wolverines. In conclusion, this article
is good for light reading, or if you're just interested in wolverines and
wildlife.
