<p>For the first time in 100 years, wolverines are back in Mount Rainier National Park. How did they get there?</p> <p>In the summer of 2020, there was some big news for wildlife in the pacific northwest. In the wild spaces of Mount Rainier National Park, a female wolverine was discovered along with two babies known as kits. It is believed that these tenacious predators haven't been in the park for over a century. The wolverines were back. This is the story of the return of the wolverines and the woman who searched for 15 years to find them.</p> <p>Dr Jocelyn Atkins is a wolverine biologist and founder of the <a href="https://www.cascadescarnivore.org/">Cascade Carnivore Project</a>.&nbsp;</p> <p><em>You can help us continue to create this special immersive storytelling by joining THE WILD Patreon community at&nbsp;<a href="https://nam04.safelinks.protection.outlook.com/?url=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.patreon.com%2Fchrismorganwildlife&amp;data=05%7C02%7Cjgates%40kuow.org%7C38749ede12834c67efb108...
