My dad told me to watch the Nature program on wolverines. Through that I was introduced to Steve Kroschel, who runs a wildlife center in Alaska where he births, mothers, and plays with wolverines, and other wild animals. Like they were Roly Poly. Not A Zoo – It’s An Experience… Experience Wildlife A Paw’s Length Away! Steve directed Running Free, also known as One Paw, the 1994 film about a twelve year old boy who befriends a wolverine. The bad guys eventually attack One Paw with grenades from a helicopter, a scene which some on IMDB found to be ludicrous.
“What I really want to do is just be a wolverine. I want to go where I want to go, do what I want to do, bite who I want to bite, and climb what I want to climb.” Doug Chadwick, author of The Wolverine Way
“The wolverine has a great deal of spiritual significance for Native Americans. For some, it functions as a link to the spiritual world and is understood as both a trickster and a hero.”
