LAYTON Talk about an encore.
State wildlife officials say a Utah wolverine caught on camera running near a west Layton home before it was spotted again on a nearby trail Thursday morning may be the same wolverine that was seen near Antelope Island on May 4.
Either way, the incident may just be the best documentation of wolverines in state history, said Mark Hadley, the northern Utah outreach manager for the Utah Division of Wildlife Resources. We ve been out looking for them for many, many, many years using trail cameras and things and this is the best sighting we ve had so far, he said. It s really rare. You just don t see them in the state of Utah very often.

SYRACUSE Michigan may be the Wolverine State, but Utah wildlife biologists confirmed Wednesday a very rare wolverine sighting in the Beehive State this week.
The Utah Division of Wildlife Resources received a report of a wolverine sighting by the Bridger Bay Campground in the northwest end of Antelope Island Tuesday.
State biologists used photos and video that had been posted to social media to confirm the sighting. A 35-second video and photos taken by James Shook and Kyle Mays shows a wolverine running across an open land during broad daylight.
It s the first confirmed sighting of a wolverine since June 2016, when a wolverine carcass was located by the Utah Department of Transportation near Bear Lake in Rich County.

DAVIS COUNTY, Utah â A rare wolverine was filmed running across parts of the Great Salt Lake on Antelope Island Tuesday.
James Shook and Kyle Mays shared video and pictures of the wolverine to Facebook. The wolverine was spotted as the men looked south from the north end of Bridger Bay. This one has been on my bucket list since I was six years old, Shook said when reached via Zoom. âI have always. Since I was six, if you asked me which animal I could see if I could choose any, I would have said, wolverine.â
