Rare Wolverine Sighting in Oregon

A man spotted a wolverine during his lunch break in Oregon on Monday, February 26, wildlife officials confirmed.

Footage provided by Brandon Oswald shows a wolverine running through a field in the rain near Canby, Oregon. “I noticed in the field across from my work an animal running around,” Oswald told Storyful. “At first I thought it was a dog, but … it was running differently so I started to record.”

The Oregon Department of Fish and Wildlife confirmed the animal was a wolverine, and that it could be the same wolverine spotted across different parts of northwestern Oregon last year.

According to the Oregon Conservation Strategy, wolverines are considered a threatened species at the state level. Credit: Brandon Oswald via Storyful
