Wary Welcome
Photograph by Antti Leinonen
A mother wolverine stands bear-like at attention and her five-month-old male offspring crouches in readiness as the female sibling approaches through high grass. The young, called kits, are large enough to accompany their mother on short hunts for prey like hares, moles, and birds, reports photographer Antti Leinonen. He has spent the past 15 years documenting the little-known social life of wolverines, centering his work on a 40-mile (64-kilometer) stretch of boreal forest outside his hometown of Kuhmo, Finland. |
