Howard Golden, an Alaska Department of Fish and Game furbearer biologist, and Alaska Zoo vet, Riley Wilson, fit a radio collar on Kayla, a 1-year-old Eurasian wolverine at the zoo on Saturday, Nov. 14, 2015. The wolverine was brought to her new home at the Alaska Wildlife Conservation Center on Saturday. The wolverine came to the U.S. from the Skanes Zoological Park in Hoor, Sweden.

Kayla, a 1-year-old wolverine, is the newest addition to the Alaska Wildlife Conservation Center.

Alaska Wildlife Conservation Center employee Sarah Howard flew to New Jersey to get Kayla, and on Saturday morning brought her to Alaska, director Mike Miller said.

The Skanes Zoological Park in Hoor, Sweden, contacted AWCC about Kayla. "For some reason, they have some extra (wolverines), which is unheard of in North America," Miller said.
