Yellowknife residents shouldn't be alarmed by a recent confirmed sighting of a wolverine wandering near a local school, say environment officials and longtime Indigenous trapper. A wolverine was spotted in the bush near William McDonald middle school early Wednesday morning and again near the end of the school day. The sighting caused a short, partial lockdown of the school and prompted a hunt for the animal by conservation officers. He said he'll often see a wolverine near the back bay in Ndilo. The Department of Environment and Natural Resources reminds Yellowknife residents to call 867-767-9238 if they wish to report a wildlife sighting.
