Photos Show Wolverine in California

The image of a wolverine captured on a trail camera in northern California has set the wildlife world on fire -- particularly in the West where implications of finding a wild wolverine where none were thought to exist could have far reaching implications.

Here are a few stories about the photo and the story behind it.
