Wolverines are vicious killing machines that are afraid of nothing. They are notoriously elusive and difficult to study. They look great without a shirt on.

Reality:

Yeah, you probably don’t want to be locked in a cage with a wolverine (unless it’s Hugh Jackman). But killing machines? While wolverines are cunning carnivores, they are as likely to be playful, nurturing, and at times overcome by behaviour-altering fear.
