From the publisher

How do wolverines survive the harsh weather conditions of the Arctic? In Wolverine: Super Strong, kids will discover the answer as they follow the work of biologist Audrey Magoun and other scientists in the freezing-cold Arctic tundra. From the long, thick fur that keeps a wolverine warm, to the long claws and powerful jaws that allow it to tear through frozen meat, children will learn all the different ways that these strong scavengers are built to survive in the Arctic. Packed with large, full-color photos and written in a compelling narrative format, Wolverine: Super Strong will show kids how wolverines survive in their bone-chilling environment, including how they hunt, stay warm, and raise their babies.
