Michigan’s “lone” wolverine will tour the state in a traveling exhibit created by the Michigan Historical Center. Discovered in the thumb area in 2004, the wolverine roamed the Minden City State Game Area until its natural death in 2010. Originally displayed for nearly a year at the Saginaw Bay Visitor Center at the Bay City Recreation Area, the wolverine then went to the Michigan Historical Center where a secure case and exhibit panels were created.

Since early June 2012, the exhibit has traveled to thumb-area venues and will continue throughout the state before settling back in at the Bay City Recreation Area for the winter. The exhibit features taxidermy of the wolverine and information about its time in Michigan, as well as a look at the wolverine in science and in Michigan history. An animal rarely seen in the wild, the wolverine has drawn large, curious crowds at each stop along the tour.

The wolverine will be at Courtland Center Mall in Burton, from January 7 through January 20, 2013.
