HI ALL
I bought a wolverine from a traper and he doesnt mesure the anamal
so i sent it out to a tanery to get wet taned and when it comes back
the only mesurements i have are from the skull witch i have, but do not know the mesure ments from the nose to the base of the tail and around the center of the belly.
Any help would be grate.
Thanks, and have a grate day.

The skin will probably be stretched long when you get it back.Stretch the width out as much as you can before measuring.Fold the skin in half so you are looking at a profile of the animal.Measure from the top of back to bottom of belly,double that number-that's your circumference.Measure the length but realize that this measurement is less reliable and may still be a little long.Check catalog form measurements and see what corresponds,especially to your circumference measurement.I'll give you a tip.The circumference of many wolverines is app. 2/3's of the length measurement.Adult females are usually 26"-30" long,males usually 31"-34".Eye to nose measurement should be a snap.Eyes are 9 and 10mm,depending on size of animal.Hope this helps.
