Wolverine Science Pub – Ketchum, ID
Elephant's Perch, Ketchum, IDConjure up an image of a reclusive creature with the profile of a giant armadillo, the proportions and grace of a river otter, and the thick mane of a grizzly. As if dropped out of one’s imagination or taken from the crayon-scribbled colorings of our childhood, the North American wolverine is a perfect mish-mash of our most fanciful wildlife dreams, come to life for real. And, at long last, the creature, in all its untamed wildness, has been protected under the Endangered Species Act. Join Idaho Conservation League’s Wildlife Program Associate, Jeff Abrams, for a presentation on this remarkable species – one that takes refuge in the mountains surrounding the Wood River Valley! No RSVP or scientific background is required. Just bring your curiosity, sense of humor, and appetite for drinks and knowledge.
