Quote:

"A 40-pound male wolverine named Kasper was being shipped from a zoo in Norway [old home] to a conservation park in Alaska [new home]. At around 3:30 pm, he arrived in Newark to change planes and go through United States Customs.

"Wolverines, which look kind of like small bears but are actually the largest members of the weasel family, are legendarily vicious. With long, sharp teeth, they have been known to kill animals many times their size, including caribou and white-tailed deer.
