Wolverines makes for great rescue animals



Wolverines have a bad reputation as being violent beasts, most likely as a result of being associated with Wolverine the X-Man. Of course they are wild animals, but wolverines are actually fantastic search and rescue animals, as portrayed by the wolverine.

To demonstrate this helpful characteristic, a guy was covered in a snow to mimic a body trapped under an avalanche. Amazingly, the wolverine quickly digs the trapped man out and drags him out of the snow to safety.

The National Geographic Wild video is actually 10 months old, but has started to trend recently.
