A new study released by the Wildlife Conservation Society and partners says that the distribution of wolverines in the wild relates to the species' ability to store and "refrigerate" their food supply through tough times. The cold caches play a particularly important role in wolverine reproductive success, as they provide a source of nutrition for lactating females while they are nursing young.
