Observations on Wolverine (Gulo gulo) marking were made during a Wolverine study in Montana. Marking stations generally were established sites used over several years. Marking involved marking visual and olfactory signs on the ground or on the trunk of a tree. Several Wolverines used a single marking station. Marking, rather that being a mechanism for maintaining a mutually exclusive territory, probably serves to maintain the essentially solitary nature of the Wolverine, maintaining time but not area spacing.
