Wolverine

Encountered a wolverine while climbing down from the saddle.   A rare sighting indeed!



Wolverine

I back-tracked up the slope and retrieved the camera from my pack;   it hadn't noticed me yet...



Wolverine
I managed one more quick shot when it re-emerged from behind a rock and spotted me;
it took off as the shutter finished clicking!
