The wolverine lives primarily in isolated northern areas, for example the arctic and alpine regions of Alaska, northern Canada, Siberia and Scandinavia; they are also native to Russia, the Baltic countries, and Northern China and Mongolia. In 2008 and 2009, wolverines were sighted as far south as the Sierra Nevada, near Lake Tahoe, for the first time since 1922.[18][19] It is also found in low numbers in the Rocky Mountains and northern Cascades of the United States. However, most New World wolverines live in Canada.[11]

The Wildlife Conservation Society reported in June 2009 that a wolverine researchers had been tracking for almost three months had crossed into northern Colorado. Society officials had tagged the young male wolverine in Wyoming near Grand Teton National Park and it had traveled southward for approximately 500 miles. It was the first wolverine seen in Colorado since 1919, and its appearance was also confirmed by the Colorado Division of Wildlife.[11]

The world's total wolverine population is unknown. The animal exhibits a low population density and requires a very large home range.[10] The range of a male wolverine can be more than 620 km² (240 sq mi), encompassing the ranges of several females which have smaller home ranges of roughly 130–260 km² (50-100 sq mi). Adult wolverines try for the most part to keep non-overlapping ranges with adults of the same sex.[8] Radio tracking suggests an animal can range hundreds of miles in a few months.
