where do wolverines live

Wolverines live primarily in cold, isolated northern regions of the Northern Hemisphere. Their habitats include arctic, boreal forests, alpine tundra, and snow-covered mountains. Specifically, they are found in northern Canada, Alaska, Siberia, Scandinavia (Norway, Sweden, Finland), Russia, and parts of Eurasia. In North America, their range extends to the northern U.S. Rocky Mountains, including states like Washington, Idaho, Montana, Wyoming, and Oregon, with some small populations potentially reemerging in places like Colorado. Wolverines thrive in regions with deep snow, which is essential for their hunting and denning needs. They typically live in high-elevation forests and mountainous areas but may move to lower elevations in winter to find food.
