"Picture a weasel -- and most of us can do that, for we have met that
little demon of destruction, that small atom of insensate courage, that
symbol of slaughter, sleeplessness, and tireless, incredible activity --
picture that scrap of demoniac fury, multiply that mite some fifty times,
and you have the likeness of a Wolverine."
--Ernest Thompson Seton, 1906

fact rhyme with wolverine.
