🟠 Summary: Is this beast really a ravenous monster? The Wolverine is a rarely-glimpsed, and thus much misunderstood, scavenger with tremendous strength. It is the source of many legends. The Indians regarded it as a supernatural being. Here we see the real Wolverine in the rugged land it shares with Wolf, Red Fox and Snowshoe Hare -- and we learn why this wandering loner deserves our respect.

It's kinda hard to believe, but I used to watch Wild America when I was a little kid. At 64yrs I can still watch these episodes with that same child-like wonder and excitement.
❤️
I know exactly what you mean. RUclips is sensational. I can watch adverts from when I was a little kid, long thought lost forever. How Incredible!
Same ✌️
My dad would watch all the nature shows on Sunday Marty, mutual of Omaha Jacquesto, I would watch with him, and still remember getting the Sunday paper and reaching for the funnies
Yep 👍🏾 😊
Marty was the OG of nature TV!! Really great to hear his voice again!!
I haven’t heard his voice in over 35 years and cleaning the house with EarPods in I instantly knew who he was. Thank you for the precious upload.
You’re most welcome konky.
Greatest wildlife documentary after 50 years
Staged nonsense.
I just googled and Marty is still alive at 75 and still married to Diane whom he married in 1975. Way to go Marty!
Marty, my hat's off to you, my family and I always watched "60 minutes"and when that show was over,"Wild America" came on and we were glued to the TV, I myself was inside the tv.Your show's on Wild Life were A1 #1 and right now I'm watching your show on,"Wolverines".
Thanks Marty. I’m sure my brother, sister and I watched this when we were kids and now I’m sharing it with my children
His voice and Paul Harvey's are locked in my brain. As soon as I hear either of them I'm a kid again.
Same and good day
This is Paul Harvey,"Stand by for News" ! "Good Day" !
@ 39 I can watch Wild America over and over again, I remember vividly well tuned in on the only channel KBC back in the days. Awesome narrator
I loved watching these shows as a child and as a adult i still do
Same. These shows have aged incredibly well. Watch them all the time. Thanks George.
Wow!! I love this!! I'm 54 years old and remembering watching this when I was little.🙂
Marty is the man......he got footage no one else could..hes a legend
He staged places. Episodes scripted before. Animals can be get from zoos you know. Common thing in "good old days".
I remember this show many years ago, it was a good program, i enjoyed it back then
The Music encapsulates my time growing up in the '80s...It touches my soul with a ghostly haunt whenever I hear it
Me Too.....
😂 odd how at 40 years old, this narrator has me reaching for a box of cheez-it, just like my childhood.😂
Some things never change.
40 here as well and this guys voice has been burned into my brain for my entire life. It's like comfort food for my ears.
God seeing this episode, opening music and Marty brought back childhood memories growing up in Long island, New York.
yay, love that, feel the same about these episodes, they give me uber doses of nostalgia from youth, glad that happened for you
Yes another Long Islander here. This reminds me of Sunday Nights watching Mutual Of Omaha's "Wild Kingdom" Marlon Perkins and Jim Fowler or Jaque Cousteau Exploring the Ocean.
Fond Memories of my tween and teen years.
Greetings from Alaska! I'm originally from Long Island, NY as well.
This show and Nature were the first two animal shows I’ve ever watched I was only two years old when this episode came out just gettin’ ready to turn three As a kid if I had to choose between cartoons and an animal documentary I always watched the animal documentary💯
sounds like you're an animal lover from way back. love this. thanks again for taking a sec to share your stories and perspectives. have a good one, Mike.
I watched it for the first time when I was 1.. so....
It was always wild america and nature for us to! Mostly cause my dad didn't like us watching many things...
Me too… I grew up on PBS by choice. Used to watch Nature every night
I can hardly remember stuff from when I was 10, never mind 2.
The film footage is absolutely amazing. As if they could foresee the future coming.
Havnt seen wild America since I was a kid. Forgot how awesome this show & Marty Stouffer were/are. Great post Ty!
Ikr 😆🤣 I'm 60 yrs old 😃🤣😆👍🏽👍🏽👍🏽
Marty Stauffers Wild America and Lorne Greens New Wilderness were my two favorite shows as a kid
I don't remember a show called wild America. I'm the same age. But we watched Wild Kingdom every sunday with Marlin Perkins and his helper Jim who did all the dirty work while Marlin bumped his gums. But it was a great family show. It warmed the family up for Disney's Sunday Movie!
I'll never forget the episode where Jim fought the 25-30 foot python. He was a badass mofro! I'm going to search for that episode right now. 😊
I was mistaken. Hadn't seen that episode in nearly 45 years. It was a giant 200 pound Anaconda. Marlin actually helped Jim catch it and bag it.
AWESOME!
wow i remember watch these back in the 90s,,love wild America
I'm 64 this year and have gone through a number of careers. One thing I began as kid was voracious reading. I've read 5 sets of Encyclopedias, which is crazy but I learned a lot.
My favorite family of animals has always been Mustelids, or weasels. And the king of all land weasels is the wolverine. I've climbed mountains on 2 continents, North and South America. I've encountered every bear species on those continents too. Even the polar bear I came within 250 feet of, or the grizzly that was 200 meters away from me scared me as much as meeting a wolverine. I had a 30-06, with a 10 round magazine, and a Colt Combat Commander on my hip. The guns didn't matter. If the wolverine had wanted to tear me to shreds, it would have, no doubt about it.
I don't scare easily, I've served in combat all over the world. I survived because I learned from both my military trainers and my Cherokee grandfather who made through WWII just fine.
None of it mattered when the wolverine was staring me down and snarling.
Hearing Marty Stouffer made this even better. I loved these shows back in the day and am glad to have found them again.
Many thanks for posting this here!
First of all, you’re totally welcome. Second, this comment has put the fear of the wolverine in me. You’ve definitely conveyed how scary it is to be in close proximity to these creatures. I love horror so … thanks to you for giving me the willies.
@Wild America Animal Channel The odd thing is the place I ran into the wolverine was the exact place I'd run into a grizzly near the day before.
The grizzly had been ripping apart a young elk and since I was a fair distance, roughly 200 yards and had stopped instantly upon smelling grizzly urine, then had seen the bear and begun slowly backing away. The grizzly was far too busy eating, that by the time he looked up again, I was not in sight.
Imagine my surprise to find a wolverine in place of the grizzly the following day. There were a few things that added to my fear of the giant weasel that day, like: the snarling as he ate, the crunching of the bones as he kept at the carcass, the furtive looks the wolverine gave me over the top of the elk's rib cage, and, ultimately, his jog toward me with something hanging from his teeth.
I became intrigued, along with afraid, as he blithely came in my direction. As the wolverine got closer, I began to make out what he had in his clenched jaws. An elk face. That's right. An elk face. He just came jogging by. With an elk face in his jaws. I had never seen an elk's face separated from its body before. Never. Then. After the wolverine had gone on its merry way, it occurred to me that I had never thought of those two words together before either. Elk face. Odd, right? Another thing I thought of was, why hadn't the grizzly eaten the elk face? I mean, the grizzly could easily have done that, so why didn't the bear do that? It just struck me as strange. Wouldn't you agree?
I’m 47. Definitely brings back childhood memories. Wolverines are incredible animals & Marty has an incredible voice
Marty was a class act, Mutual of Omaha had a good show.
HE WAS A FAKE. STAGED MANY FIGHTS
WAS A HUNTER TOO😣😤😤😧
@@captainamericaamerica8090No way.
@@captainamericaamerica8090 Proof of the former? Significance of the latter?
@@aguilayserpiente So do your research like we did. We don't Work for YOU.
@@captainamericaamerica8090 You bear the burden of proof for your claims.
Wolverines are durable and courageous creatures. No doubt about that. They are one of the few creatures in the wild that possess the closest thing to what's referred to as gameness. Gameness is basically the determination to not give up even when faced with danger or a very challenging situation. It is a quality mostly found in and associated with catch and fighting dogs such as Pit Bulls that have been selectively bred for very dangerous and challenging tasks such as controlling bulls in bullfighting matches, holding down wild pigs for hunting, and fighting each other in dogfighting matches that can last longer than some movies. A dog can be exhausted, have broken bones, and even on the verge of death, but the dog still will not back down and have the will to keep going. It is a trait that actually goes against nature, which is why wolverine don't exactly have the same gameness that the Pit Bull has been bred for. But the wolverine has the closest thing to it out of any wild creature, except for probably its cousins the badger and the honey badger. I have seen video of wolverine sometimes running from a wolf and a few videos of wolverine backing down from a badger. One crazy video even shows two wolverines attacking a badger, and then the wolverines back off! However, I have seen videos on RUclips of Pit Bulls fighting badgers in one-on-one fights, and the dogs are actually handling the badgers. Just so people know I am not lying, the video is called "Dog Vs Badger" on a channel called Kolt Halstead.
I was in the 4th grade and never miss on channel 25 PBS. Every Saturday night at 7. Enjoy it.
As someone who is 36.... it's refreshing to see back to the Era before all this weird sh*@ started.... people have become detached from reality from worrying about "feelings" instead of reality
I loved this show when I was young
I love the colors of that silver and orange fox!
Great video, film footage. Love the tenacity of the Wolverine, the Fox and even the Snow Rabbit. All knew how to move, seek, and use their innate instincts. I had not heard that theme song in a long, Long time. Took me back to my child hood, watching the neighbors T.V.; we didn't have one. They were a half-mile walk, unless you knew and used the Short-Cuts. Colorado Memories...
Thanks Trudy. So glad you liked the vid. I’m a total nostalgia junky so … right there with you with the theme song. Sounds like you had a lovely childhood. At least, simpler times seem super appealing as our culture gets more computerized. I spend so much of my day on the computer and … yeah, I’ve just been missing the pre-Internet days. Woah, I’m sorry. Didn’t mean to go off on a tangent there. Apologies. Thanks for the comment. Have a lovely day.
That road killed deer is mighty limber to have spent the night below freezing.
😂😂😂 I thought the same. Maybe fresh roadkill......lol.
I used to watch this when I was a kid. I think it came on after Saturday morning cartoons. I'm 40 now.
This is proof the algorithm knows nothing. If it did, it would've been feeding me the childhood favorites that made me love the natural world from the beginning.
Ugh tell me about it!
I never knew he had a sense of humor like in the beginning of show with the dogs and fox
Oldie Goldie. I probably watched it the first time around.
Yeah I recall as far back as early 90s myself
You're walking a fine line between confidence and crazy when you haul a deer carcass INTO the winter wilds.
Yepper, been there done that as a 12 year old hunting with my Brother. We found a deer a mile from home down in the wild plums. It had been wounded but was still able to walk. All we had was a 22 rifle, my brother shot it; I cleaned it. We found a Ginormous Hoe with a still metal pipe handle hidden in the rock wall on the Meadow. I looked around and found some Wild Grape Vines. I tied the legs of the deer to the hoe with the vine; we swung it between us and trudged home. Reflecting now, that was super risky.
He sure is not dressed for the adventure he tells us he is going on.
No gloves in Montana? Must be a warm winter day.
This show was way ahead of its time Now you have Wild China Wild Russia Wild Hawaii Wild Pacific and a few others I can’t think of right now but Wild America was the original💯
this was definitely one of the frontrunners. Marty changed the game for nature programming. Thanks, Mike. So glad you are enjoying the shows.
@@WildAmericaAnimalChannel sadly, it's hidden that Marty staged many fights. Trapping and placing wild animals far from. Their natural habitats😮😯😯
Me too I’m about to turn 60 God willing. I love animals and this guys is a excellent story telling-educator
Marty is America's David Attenborough!! Wish he would start a RUclips channel!!
The best real time real life videos, I ever saw, on the Wolverine is The History Channel Mountain Men. "Marty" is a fireman, helicopter pilot, trap line trapper who deals with Wolverines on his trap lines. One waited and sat for hours in front of Marty's tent waiting for him to come back from his trap line. He's experienced with them and says when a Wolverine knows you're trapping, you have to leave because they are relentless and outsmart you every possible way. Really good watching ‼️
Remember watching Marty Stouffer on TV in grammar school in the late '60s. The whole family watched Marty Stouffer Wild America!!
This was amazing, we also have these in Norway.
There's a movie about the Stouffer boys growing up adventures, excellent movie!!
Thank you for these great uploads 😊❤
Favorite Critter on the face of the planet. My Spirit Totem.
As like all comments I too watched as a kid.being a native Coloradoan Marty residing Aspen bringing back easier time
A wolverine was spotted around the lake Tahoe area a few years back so that might be a good sign that their numbers are improving.
My favorite show as a kid
Blast from the past! Marty was the best!!!
No not. He was a trapper. He also staged many fights.
My favorite Critter on the face of the planet. The mighty Wolverine❤
thank for the video legend❤
Wolverines are a lot like honey badgers. 😂 I think I watched this very episode when I was a kid, probably when it originally aired. We didn’t watch tv in my house, except for nature programs on pbs and for a while there was a Disney show on Sunday nights my parents let me watch. These were the best, I still love them.
Red Dawn '1984' brought me Here
A pleasant surprise no doubt 😊
This takes me back 30years or so...americas david addenborow
Nice try on that one 😊
Those dogs can put any human runner to absolute shame---Usain Bolt included. Recommended reading "A Hound of Hell Fights for His Life" Literary Digest 1930s account of one wolverine whipping five large Malemutes. Their injuries included a broken jaw.
Humans evolved Brains to hunt. Not legs!
Amazing creatures incredible survivors! I hope and pray they are on this planet long after us humans are gone. …
Ditto
deer didn't even freeze =)
I so remember this on my rabbit ear TV at age 6.
I remember this in the 1990s as a kid
There was a time when the only time i wanted to be indoors was to watch Wild America or Nature or Wild Kingdom etc. man i miss those days & those programs eh
I was literally just leaving this comment for somebody else. I completely get it.
That wolverine just took the hare right in front of the fox like "MINE BITCH"
I always enjoy this. When I was a young kid ❤😊
And at 57 years old I still do 😊
And now I know why the University of Michigan doesn’t use one of these as a mascot!
Remember my dad watching this on Saturday morning
Wild America, Mutual of Omaha's Wild Kingdom, Oceans Alive
Music almost made me tear up
I’m the same way. 😊
I was hoping the rabbit got away🤣
Forgot this show ever existed
7:37 😂
I loved this show ..
I wrote a children's book with the badger as the antagonist, it was a natural selection.
love that, animal farm was always a fave when I was younger, I was an English major too so I def appreciate your accomplishment, thanks for the comment
Hah! Indeed! Well now I’m curious, may I ask what the title of this book is?
Beautiful Animal, I had the Extremely rare encounter of seeing a Wolverine here in the Desert Mtns. of northern Utah 2 weeks ago and was totally amazed how fast it was...
So cool. I would love to see a wolverine. Haven’t managed it yet, but hope to eventually. Sounds like quite the experience. Thanks snowman.
I have seen three wolverines in my lifetime. All wild and in Ontario, Canada.
Man, I miss programming like this.
BEEN WATCHING MARTY FOR DECADES
This right here is why Marty is the Goat.
He's far FROM IT. HE' SET UP MANY FIGHTS! STAGED. MARTY TRAPPED ANIMALS TOO. AND A LOT OF INFO. WAS NOT CORRECT
@@captainamericaamerica8090 didn't know about the 1996 report. But it's understandable. When I watch it as a adult you get a feeling he staging some. Nothing stating his info about animals was wrong tho. I know a insane amount about animals, watching his show he talks about info I've read about animals.
@@BlackWhirlwindSett I'm a handicapped, I'm bent like a pretzel. So all I do Study.👓👓🔬🔭📗📓📑📑📖📙📚📚🎥📷📹and I've caught many marty, mistakes. He even said that a Bobcat is no bigger than a house cat😂😂
@@captainamericaamerica8090 Barivel cats get up around 12-25lbs. Bobcats 8.8-35lbs for a female. Certain places where I live they get massive. But doesn't mean he is wrong, a scarce population of prey can cause them to be very small. Most people do not get Predators size is dictated on prey populations. That is why wolves get massive in the US besides having the largest wolf species the North Western Wolf which 170lb avg. So he technically isn't wrong. He just didn't go into detail. Or at the time he didn't know, the Wolf super sized problem started getting noticed like 10 years ago when articles started coming out. It's because they didn't allow tags for wolves when reintroduced, so prey populations got hit hard, which allowed massive individuals to be protected. Which means more prey is being eaten. Hunters got really mad over it. Wildlife conservation has fixed problems and caused more. By moving animals out of their natural habitat for Alaska. Now certain animals like Mountain Goats can
only be hunted in Alaska consistently tags could pop in 2-3 years, and impossible for their natural habitat, which is like a 20 year wait where I live.
@@BlackWhirlwindSett You really have no life. We never asked you all this. You totally don't pay attention.
Holy shit. This brings me back.
At the end I felt bad for the Fox, He put in all that work getting his Quarry then goes hungry
Marty and Jacques were a pair!!!
They're not gone from Michigan!
So wolverines are like the Debo of the forest 😆
🤣
WOLVERINE!!!😎😎😎
They’re getting closer again to Michigan with one wonderer making it to just north of Detroit and a bunch of sightings getting closer down both sides of big lake . Hopefully they’ll be back in the Midwest soon
3 years ago I called Minnesota DNR because I'll swear on a stack of Bibles that I saw one at night crossing our path on a remote road outside of Ely MN. I had a spotlight in my truck and I put it on him. The DNR said that I probably saw a Ferrell cat. Ely is approximately 20 miles from Canadian border.
@@scottym9778 could've been a fisher.
Thank you, that's what the DNR guy said, not ferrell
He sure knows how dress for the outdoors!
Maybe those dogs hear sasquatch. Lol
This show is more about the man than the Wolverine. On to the next one…
👎
Great t.v.
I can recall Marty Stouffer from Mutual of Omaha's Wild Kingdom. The title of the series must have been changed for the purpose of prevention of copyright infringement. Loved the program. Marty Stouffer's voice was remarkable for it's originality and ideal as the announcer and narrator of these programs and many others. His is a memorable voice. They don't make programs like this any longer. It's just all about excessive greed and money now, not about creating exceptional, quality entertainment and informative programming. My father often spoke about the ferocity of wolverines with admiration during my childhood. Sad about them and their scarcity. However, I didn't care for this particular episode of the program, however real though because the hare couldn't outrun and escape the fox as captured in graphic detail by the camera.
The information in this documentary is outdated. We know more about wolverines now.
Couple things I’d amend:
Wolverines are actually excellent hunters, just not of small prey. They scavenge, but they also kill larger prey that it can ambush, such as dear. In fact they are referred to as greedy, because they will often kill one dear, and then, without stopping to eat, kill five more in a row. Accept they really aren’t gluttonous, because in the boreal zones, it can bury all six deer deep in snow and the food will last them a very long time. It will return to eat every part of those dear, including the teeth and bone. They have been documented to have even killed polar bear, moose, and black bear.
It manages this because the large animals may not see it as a threat, and so don’t run away. Smaller animals are too fast for it to catch. They are extremely agile, have specialized fangs and bone pulverizing molars, and razor sharp, semi retractable claws. They are part of the mustelid genus, because they have an inordinate amount of fast twitch muscle per lb of body weight. So they can latch onto a deers neck, sink its teeth into the deers throat, and resist all the animals attempts to shake free. This is essentially how it kills all large animals.
Well we'll, Marty you should've known that someone needs to be out breaking trail for them in their snowshoes. Even London learned to break trail for his dogs. That's how he got you know who as his pup
thanks Dave, just learned a new phrase
I didn't know what I was looking at but this past winter I absolutely saw an albino wolverine in Northeast Pennsylvania. I was describing it to someone who told me I should checkout wolverines, but this was white! I've been in and out of these woods my whole life and I've never seen anything like it. I instantly knew it could rip me apart if it wanted to just by the way it moved, walked and was built. Whether or not they are breeding here, I don't know but i know what I saw at 1am across the street and I watched it move for about 15 minutes. I tried to get a photo or video but my camera was picking up a street light. I was NOT getting any closer to it either. I really wish I knew what it was at the time but I'm also glad it can keep staying elusive!! I didn't know that albino wolverine existed until I found a taxidermy photo of one, that is EXACTLY what I saw! I heard several unknown animal screams and I know it was a wolverine now, after watching videos and hearing audio. Absolutely awesome they're spreading out!
I saw one in del Norte county ca. about 6 years ago and I know two other people that have saw them in the same area
Has anyone ever tamed one & kept it as a pet?
Steve Kroschel. But, he owns the nature preserve where it lives. Yes, he holds it sometimes. Not recommended. They can take down polar bears.
@@WildAmericaAnimalChannel yep, I'm aware of their tenacity. Thanks.
Good stuff ❤
The original Bad News Bear
This was an awesome program when I was a kid. I am glad they do documentaries differently now.
He definitely need more Dog and a few E-collar!
They are back in michigan. I saw 2 this year.
It is the cleaner of the forest.
bless it's little industrious heart
i WAS WEED WACKING AND I have seen one twice,......running past me,.......in Ohio.
They are Awesome looking,......like a small bear.
