Its population has steadily declined since the 19th century owing to trapping, range reduction and habitat fragmentation. The wolverine is now essentially absent from the southern end of its European range. Taxonomy Genetic ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
