It was not all about big Brown Bears during the Finland Photography Holiday in the Taiga Forest; we had opportunities to see other species too & this included the rather rare & elusive Wolverine!
Once abundant in numbers, the wolverine is now a very rare animal due to over-hunting. However it was certainly one of the main highlights from the Wild Brown Bears of Finland Photography Holiday.
Appearing more like a small bear, the wolverine is in fact part of the weasel family. This little beast is a wildlife photographers dream; along with a huge appetite it has a reputation for unmatched ferocity & apparently fears nothing at all; pound for pound few other animals can match the Wolverine for strength or attitude!
Just to prove how dangerous these little killing machines are there have been cases of Wolverines killing moose even though they are almost 20 times their size!
So you can imagine the excitement when everyone in the group got close sightings & numerous photos of this stunning mammal on almost a daily basis during the workshop.
If you want to see how amazing both the wolverines & the wild brown bears really are, as well the Brown Bears then sign up quick on to next years workshop!
Obviously, even with the entrance of the wolverine, the main focus remained the bears of the Taiga Forest.
