- description: A research camera in Banff National Park captures some unexpected behaviour from the elusive Wolverine. Wolverines are elusive and hard to study, but we know that they need plenty of space to survive. They avoid areas of human disturbance. Despite their reputation for being fierce, wolverines have proven to be attentive parents and have even been observed at play, sliding down snowy slopes just for the fun of it! Our mountain national parks are an important refuge for this fascinating creature. Steve Jarand – lyrics, vocals, looped beats Chorus: Wolverine, wolverine little and lean Wolverine, I’m a killing machine Wolverine, wolverine solitary unseen Keepin’ it real but never keepin’ it clean Resembling a bear in a short stocky frame Although you might not care I’m gonna tell you all the same Frost free fur, stripes down the back Spray like a skunk When threatened with attack Beady black eyes, powerful jaws Muscular thighs, razor-sharp claws Paws so wide, I can walk upon the snow And those who tried to spy me Likely only saw my ghost CHORUS I scavenge on a moose And gorge on his remains Or drop a caribou, on the northern plains Did you listen to the shriek He descended into darkness See the glisten of my teeth As I defend the carcass When lookin’ for a mate I’d hoof a hundred clicks If my babe and me relate We’ll make a couple kits By the second summer, kits are all grown No more hunting with your mama Got to strike out on your own CHORUS Gulo gulo, that’s Latin for “Glutton” That’s my name Or “Carcajou”, “Quickhatch”, “Skunk Bear” Claim to fame But there’s another beast, man Who puts it all to shame Consuming and abusing Like it’s all a big game So what’s it really mean to be a wolverine? A sexy superhero Or a college football team? No nothing half that superficial More like twice as free I’ll show you how much fun I’m havin’ Simply bein’ me CHORUS You’ll find me in the north All around the Polar Regions In Canada of course Russia, Norway, Finland, Sweden I represent the world Ambassadorial-ah weasel Avoiding all the places Where you’re drillin’ gas and diesel I used to roam the land As the weasel king Now you own my habitat I’m not the one who stinks I went deep into the woods To find some peace and quiet You say that I’m no good Yeah, well you’re a riot CHORUS Keepin’ it real and seekin’ out peace Put aside your pride and listen up please A proposal to the people from the weasel PEACE
