The distribution of Wolverine in history than it is now the vast region, but also to the south. According to the fossil, they found that Wolverine in the late Pleistocene distribution of the time also had Benxi area in Liaoning province. In addition, according to the information recorded in the Qing Dynasty and Ning He was in Yilan County, County, and the Changbai Mountains and other places have seen the footprints of Wolverine, but now there are only a small amount of remaining residual Daxinganling area population, with large forest areas scale of development, serious misappropriation and destruction of habitat Wolverine, making it back to the north and west closer to the forest hinterland, in the critically endangered status. According to 1989-1992 survey beads Pak Yan (1994), Wolverine Daxing'anling populations is estimated at 183 ± 38 only, the total habitat area of over 80,000 km2 (the average density is 1 / 461km2) western slope of which there are 107 ± 31, SU 76 ± 9 only. Overall, estimates of Wolverine is only 200 or so. To risk factors: Habitat deterioration and disappearance of deadly threats; food sources decrease due to medium-sized carnivorous and prey animals have significantly reduced the number of Wolverine and migration seem to a large extent affected by the winter food supply. Pregnant female mink bear is just in the winter, so the consequences of the lack of winter food is more serious; excessive hunting, has led to population decline.
