Wolverine
Detail below..
Wolverines do not hibernate. A wolverine's winter consists of constant wandering. The northern climate leaves little time for "lollygagging" for an animal who must remain active all winter long. There is a constant search for food, interspersed with short rest periods, when their hunger is temporarily abated. Individuals often travel thousands of miles or more in this unrelenting search.
