Are there wolverines in Missouri

Answer 1

i saw an animal from the rear with a large, long bushy tail going under my deck. it seemed to be blond in color and much larger than any cat I have ever seen. It was raining and 2 twin yellow tom cats that are pretty big also ran out of the other end of the deck and were at the front door wanting in by the time i walked from the back door to the front. The cats that I see that are in the rain don't usually stay very bushy, but this animal looked like it was shedding the rain pretty well. I was not able to investigate further but I feed cats outside and this has attracted other wild animals but I live in the current river, Mark Twain national forest area and there are all kinds of wild animals that come right up to my deck or front door. I looked up what little I saw and it could have been a wolverine but of course i can't be sure.

Answer 2

We believe we have seen a wolverine in a tree in the Mark Twain Lake area of Missouri. Anyone else see a wolverine in MO? The area here has a lot of displaced animals because of the flooding, so it may have been moved out of its territory. However, there is a lot of dense woods, and many herds of deer, lots of rabbits and smaller prey too in the state park and army corps of engineers federal forests here.

Answer 3

We had one in our farm. Seen it a few times when hunting and even found it's den once. I have not seen any sign of it for a long time.

Answer 4

No, wolverines are not native to Missouri. They are typically found in northern regions of North America, such as Canada and Alaska.

Answer 5

In late May 2020, I believe I hit a wolverine at 2am while traveling west on Interstate 70, approximately 140 miles east of Kansas City. I did not stop so I cannot verify but looking at images of a wolverine, I'm pretty sure that is what I hit.
