Back in the early 80s a Wolverine was trapped (twice) in Capitol Forest. Turns out it was an escapee. Like Russell, this one is sure way out of range. Again like Russell, as a bio with (even more years) experience I was told by a Mt Rainier Ranger that what I called a Fisher was actually a Marmot. Unfortunately, it was across the road so fast that we got no pictures. It was a nice male Fisher, as we photographed marmots a few minutes later.

As a professional wildlife biologist with 20 years of experience working in in Washington State if anyone had walked up to me and said that they saw a wolverine on the outer coast I would have, in all honesty, thought they were bonkers and would have written it off as a misidentification of a river otter, or maybe, and I mean big maybe, a sea otter. A wolverine on a beach in Pacific County is so far out of the norm I still question how it got there. I'm glad they got a picture of it. Truly remarkable. Also green with envy.
