More quadrupeds!



Where you've been: Gulo luscus, wolverine (Gulo gulo). Best known for being short, Canadian, and having a healing factor and adamantine claws The wolverine has historically been feared and hated, but it can defend itself even against much larger and fiercer animals like bears and cougars, and frankly they don't care how you feel about them, because they are great. Are you, or have you ever been, a member of Canadian secret services?

Where you are now: Arvicola richardsonii, Richardson's meadow mouse. (Microtus richardsoni, American water vole.)

This is the largest vole in North America, up to ten inches long. They are great swimmers and build burrows on stream banks, where they nest and store food, and are active and breeding year-round, not letting winter snow slow them down.

So I think this is saying that as northern-hemisphere winter comes in, you are not slowing down, you are staying busy and on top of things.

Where you're going: Ursus maritimus, Polar bear.

Polar bears are also great in ice and snow, but they hibernate through the hardest part of the winter. So perhaps your energy will slow down a bit coming up - but don't worry too much about it, because while you are moving slowly you will be growing the beginning of something great. Also, beware of global warming.

What you should do: Canis lupus, Black American wolf (Gray wolf)

Gray wolves usually hunt in family packs, but they can also travel long distances alone or in small groups, and they are moving back into parts of their range they have long been absent from, and they are the animal that was domesticated into dogs. Embrace your inner wolf! Be daring and wild, but also caring and loyal.
