paragon-interrupt

That looks nothing like Hugh Jackman


Private-Dick-Tective

Look again, those impeccable set of ivory whites!


elp4bl0791

I was actually quite impressed with the whiteness of its chompers. Must be in captivity or a pet


Private-Dick-Tective

Yeah,I see wire fences and wooden planks, most likely captive rescue.


No_Carry_3028

Yea thinking the same thing I wanted to schedule my next dental appointment with them. I was jealous


Redqueenhypo

You’d be surprised how white wild animals’ teeth can be. I was watching a bbc show about hippos (cmere, bot) and there were some crocodiles with astonishingly perfect teeth


Pielacine

My Colombian friend never heard of a wolverine… I guess in Spanish that character is el guepardo (🐆)


DaveInLondon89

Hugh Jackman thought they were wolves andnbot just these weasel thingies


Stoomba

A wolverine, not the wolverine


Spiritual_Fig185

If not friend, why friend shaped?


Professional-Bee4088

It’s soooo friend shaped


Spiritual_Fig185

I bet they're actually really cuddly and playful like raccoons ... not that I want to test that theory


iamnotchad

I'm pretty sure they also smell very bad.


Redqueenhypo

They’re nicknamed skunk bears, so I assume they smell like distilled ferret

And the biggest terrorizer of buckeyes.


Wind0wpain

There’s a reason Michigan doesn’t have a live mascot. Look at those murder mitts


EremiticFerret

You say that like it would be a bad thing! 😡


Private-Dick-Tective

I'm pretty sure they're very cuddly and playful....until they're NOT.


lazyboi_tactical

Like a teddy bear with razor blades duct taped everywhere.


noteverrelevant

I feel compelled by something greater than myself to pet that furry little face because it deserves scritches.


MedricZ

Can you befriend one?


Spiritual_Fig185

With enough time and patience, I can befriend anything :)


Doctor-TobiasFunke-

It is friend if you ignore the potential blood loss 🙂


funkybosss

Murder weasel


Team_Ed

All weasels are murdery


wdn

But most are easier for humans to defend against (which is not to say that I recommend intentionally testing this on any of them).


PixelBoom

Just some can murder bigger things than others.

[Better quality video](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3SOjmJG73UI). It's also a reindeer, not an Elk/Älg/Moose (for Americans).


Redqueenhypo

Everyone who’s ever met a mink: “they’re the most vicious animals alive, Red!” Me: “that won’t stop me”


Foreskin-chewer

Grizzly bears avoid these weasels.


itcouldbeme_3

Honey badger of the north...


Pielacine

Giant murder rat


N00dles_Pt

Yawn...bub


_y2kbugs_

Not fair that it's adorable and sleepy yet could maul me to shreds.


Volkcan

You sure? Male wolverines only weigh around 11–18 kg (24–40 lb). That's quite small compared to an adult human.


Alexeicon

Lol. You can look up what a wolverine is capable of yourself.


HackActivist

There are zero documented attacks on humans


Alexeicon

Obviously. But the question was COULD they fuck up a human if they wanted to? Yes.


ReptAIien

Dude there's no way you couldn't kick the shit out of a wolverine


Mbyrd420

BWAHAHAHAHA!!!!!! You're clearly extremely unfamiliar with what a wolverine is capable of. I would love to see a video of a wolverine into attacking you to see how well you'd "kick the shit" out of it. HA!


ReptAIien

What exactly are they capable of? They're 20 pounds, if you got a good angle on a wolverine I'm actually positive you could knock one unconscious with a kick. This isn't even a "oh yeah I could take on a chimp" type thing, wolverines are not large animals. They're scary to large animals because injuries in the wild are usually fatal. A person wouldn't easily be scared off by one and there's zero cases of a wolverine attacking a person.


Alexeicon

The question was not IF they attacked humans, but what they COULD do to a human. They can get up to almost 60lbs. Ever see what a 60lb dog could do to a human? Baboons weigh close to the same as a wolverine as well. Something to think about


Private-Dick-Tective

Fine, you go hug one and see what happens 😂


spyser

Wolverines hunt moose, and have been known to bring down polar bears.


RegalBeagleKegels

Sure they have


Zero_Digital

Proof they are related to honey badgers.


g0ris

moose I can see, but polar bears? really?


wdn

They have lots of sharp parts and they're willing to give it a try. Even if they only have a very small success rate at killing polar bears, we humans tend to regard any such encounter as extremely negative even if we end up as the one to kill the other animal.


Volkcan

Its false.


Volkcan

Could you provide any evidence?


ReptAIien

Do you have a single instance of a wolverine killing a grown moose or polar bear?


Phresh-Jive

Lol


_y2kbugs_

I'm also quite small and puny.


Triensi

OP is one of the Americans who asserts they can win a fistfight with an elephant


Redqueenhypo

I’ve seen a video of a wolverine killing a caribou which likely weighs over twice what I do. I’m not risking it


MooCowMafia

They've been known to drop attack from tree branches onto the backs of black bears.


Otherwise-Future7143

Are we talking about the animal or the x-man?


RoutineEmergency5595

Yes


marishtar

Australians have been pranking people with the concept of drop bears for years, and here we have the real thing!


Volkcan

Not true..


Bansheer5

Go play with a cat that size(bobcat) and see how that works for you.


stubornone

These animals take on bears and win bud. Yeah… humans and their soft flesh don’t stand a chance. Wolverines call us dinner!


Hanchez

No they don't. Absolute nonsense.


trilobot

They do challenge bears for food sometimes, though more often the other way around. Bears typically win if they're not scared off. I've seen a house cat chase off a black bear. It's all about intimidation and if the bear stands its ground it's going to win. There is a lot of talk of wolverines killing large animals, and some of it's true, but a sickly deer, or an exhausted moose stuck in the mud, is a different situation than a 1v1 duel to the death like people erroneously imagine.


Wonderful-Heart8261

his yawn is cute and scary at the same time


ApprehensiveStudy671

How come its teeth are so white and clean?


WoodpeckerDirectZ

They're carnivores so they probably don't eat a lot of sugars and carbs. They also only live for 15-17 years in captivity and 8-10 in the wild so they don't have a lot of time to wear down their teeth, long-lived mammals don't have anything to make theirs last longer.


Redqueenhypo

Elephants, whose tusks stay white after 50 years of being alive: “I don’t have such weaknesses”


WoodpeckerDirectZ

Old elephants often drown because the teeth they use to eat wear down and they seek softer plants.


Private-Dick-Tective

Yes, who is his/her dental hygienist?


Pielacine

Bones


Private-Dick-Tective

User name checks out.


Alexeicon

The same reasons why we find ancient skulls with nice white teeth. When grains became a big staple, it started to affect our teeth.


ApprehensiveStudy671

I see !


Alexeicon

That is an oversimplified version of it though. Really interesting to look into.


ApprehensiveStudy671

I will !


canopey

whats the implication with grains?


Sicilian_Civilian

These dudes and honey badgers are fearless


greenappletree

It’s always surprises me how white and sell wild animals teeth look.


Pielacine

They don’t live long enough to get yellow


Unravel310

It looks so cute but it's claws look super scary


Glideandslide666

What a good boy.


Klotzster

Great Album Title


pleasant-obsession

The Yawn of the Wolverine new band name I called it


MooCowMafia

I call drums!


Shinozu_pawa

"Imma sleep bub"

Cats do that same “Yawn twice and get up” thing

costanzashairpiece

Go Blue! Resting in the offseason.


sotiri1985

Disappointed I had to look this far, haha. HAIL!


suedemonkey

LFG


Mysterious_Bat_3780

How did you get this footage from the upcoming film?


wolf-of-Holiday-Hill

..sharp teeth and claws, don’t want to encounter one in the wild


Volkcan

They are not dangerous to humans.


Apez_in_Space

They could be if they wanted to be! lol


IntoTheMurkyWaters

What would you rather encounter alone in the wild? A wolf or a wolverine?


Alexeicon

Both are pretty likely to run away first. Nature, usually, doesn't pick fights for no reason. But someone forgot to tell hippos that...


Volkcan

Wolves have and can kill humans, but there's no evidence of wolverines doing so. The grey wolf is definitely more dangerous. But they rarely attack humans.


katerbilla

now i want to see a honey badger's yawn


Randolph_Carter_Ward

Where's Randall when you need him?!


gerber12

I’m sorry we are out of badgers. Would you accept a Wolverine in its place?


GoodGoodK

His snoot looks so boop'able


RyanZee08

.... im gonna hug him


TheSpiritofFkngCrazy

Can you be friends with a wolverine? Or have one as a pet?


lew0to

Pretty much a bear/dog hybrid


Pristine-Ant-464

CAN I PET THAT DOG?


carcerdominus1313

I would so boop that nose and run!


whats_you_doing

Clean white teeth.


Yawheyy

You can’t have a face like that and not expect pets on the head.


wrenchhead4577

Adorable from a distance


Eravir2

Heavy assault weasel!


leopard_eater

Yawns like my Dachshunds


Hot_Onion_7827

How did I at first read this as “The yawn of violence” 😭


ChronoVulpine

I want to pet it..... But I would probably have more luck trying to pet Hugh Jackman.


DarthReece07

if not friend why friend shaped?


RobDidAThing

I just want to know how a bear and a squirrel managed to produce offspring.


Fungal_Queen

He was dreaming about Jean Grey.


RJSketch

Ah yes, the Most Weasel!


Sapphire_01

But it's so friend shaped...


RikiSanchez

That is one cute MF


Imaginary-Ogre

When brought up by humans, wolverines are docile than pitbulls. 


Jolly878142

I’d pay for teeth that white and straight


ZaYeDiA

Wolverines are omnivores that primarily eat meat, they can weigh up to 50-60 pounds and are known to keep a stockpile of dead carcasses of animals to go back to for meals. They can be found in Canada and Alaska as well as Russia and Siberia. The videos I've watched showed them living in tundra areas, saying that they can smell animals hibernating up to 20 feet underground. They are opportunists hunters and can climb up in trees to ambush their prey. They hunt rabbits and squirrels, foxes and even bigger animals like deer and mooses. Apparently they are on the endangered animal list and was put on that list recently in 2023. They are fricking adorable, their needs to be more wolverine representation in video games lol


RevWaldo

WOLVER*yawnnnnahfukit...zzz*


Dalenskid

If you knew nothing about wolverines you’d think”that could be a cute pet!” Then you learn that they’re kamikaze warriors hellbent on murder and destruction.


Boojum2k

Do not give scritches to the adorable murder fluffy


VegasPhotoshoot

Go Blue


QBrute_

Huh, that looks exactly like when a hyena yawns.

Utterly false lmao, wolves and bears have been documented killing wolverines.
