Best Answer

What do wolverines eat? Well would you believe that an animal 3 feet long would live off of hoofed animals. Can you imagine such an animal attacking a fully grown buck or moose? They also eat birds, beavers, mice, marmots, porcupines, ground squirrels, berries, nuts and just about anything else they can catch or steal. Wolverines, like many carnivores are scavengers and have a keen sense of smell for another animal's fresh kill. The jaws of wolverines are extremely powerful and they can use them to crush large bones.
