Michigan Football Hires Wink Martindale as Defensive Coordinator

Michigan Wolverines have reportedly hired former Giants assistant Don "Wink" Martindale as their new defensive coordinator for the 2024 season. Martindale, a veteran defensive coordinator from the NFL, is known for his successful stints with the Giants and the Baltimore Ravens. His hiring comes after a thorough search to replace Jesse Minter, and it aligns with Michigan's defensive style in recent years. Martindale previously served as a college defensive coordinator at Western Kentucky and has a strong track record in the NFL. The Wolverines are now focused on filling other defensive coaching positions.

"Jim Harbaugh's Departure from Michigan and Impact on NCAA Investigations"

Jim Harbaugh's departure from Michigan to the Chargers leaves the Wolverines program facing two ongoing NCAA investigations, with potential penalties looming. The first case involves Level II violations for illicit recruiting and coaching during the COVID-19 dead period, while the second, more controversial investigation is tied to prohibited off-campus scouting and sign-stealing. Harbaugh's departure may have saved Michigan from tough decisions, but the program still faces potential repercussions, including the possibility of vacated wins. While self-imposed penalties may mitigate the fallout from the first case, the impact of the second investigation remains uncertain, with questions surrounding potential connections to other staff members and the NCAA's approach to current players.

"US Takes Action to Save Wolverines from Extinction as Climate Change Threatens Their Mountain Homes"

The North American wolverine is set to receive threatened species protections under a proposal by the Biden administration, as climate change threatens to melt away their mountain refuges and push them towards extinction. Wolverines, which were wiped out across most of the US by the early 1900s, currently survive in fragmented, isolated groups at high elevations in the northern Rocky Mountains. The decision to protect the wolverines' remaining habitat comes after more than two decades of disputes over the risks of climate change and threats to their long-term survival. The protections are seen as crucial to giving the species a fighting chance against habitat degradation and fragmentation caused by climate change.

Wolverines in Lower 48 gain protection under Endangered Species Act

Wolverines in the Lower 48 states of the United States have been added to the list of species threatened with extinction under the Endangered Species Act due to the impact of climate change. As temperatures rise, the wolverine's habitat is shrinking, making it difficult for the animal to find deep mountain snow for denning and protecting its young. The decision comes after a long legal battle and highlights the debate over human-animal coexistence and the role of federal protection. Wolverines, known for their ferocity and curiosity, were nearly wiped out in the past but have made a modest recovery with a population of around 300 in the northern Rocky and Cascade mountains. However, their future is uncertain as their secluded, snowy habitat diminishes due to global warming.

"US Takes Action to Save Wolverines from Extinction as Climate Change Threatens Their Mountain Homes"

The North American wolverine is set to receive threatened species protections under a proposal by the Biden administration, as scientists warn that climate change is melting away the wolverines' snowy mountain refuges and pushing them towards extinction. Wolverines, which resemble small bears and are the world's largest terrestrial weasels, currently live in fragmented, isolated groups at high elevations in the northern Rocky Mountains. The decision to protect them comes after more than two decades of disputes over the risks of climate change and threats to their long-term survival. Republican lawmakers in Montana have urged the administration to delay the decision, claiming that the scientists' estimates are inaccurate and that protections could lead to restrictions on activities in wolverine habitats.

"U.S. Takes Action to Safeguard Wolverines Amid Climate Crisis"

Wolverines in the contiguous United States will be listed under the Endangered Species Act due to threats from climate change and habitat fragmentation. With an estimated population of only 300, wolverines inhabit areas of the Northern Rocky Mountains and Northern Cascades in Montana, Idaho, Wyoming, Washington, and Oregon. The decision comes after new research highlighted concerns about low genetic diversity and the impact of backcountry winter recreation on wolverines. The move is the result of a quarter-century campaign by wildlife advocates, who hope the listing will help wolverines survive and recover.

Rare Wolverine Sighting in California's Yosemite National Park

California wildlife officials have confirmed the sighting of a rare wolverine in the Eastern Sierra Nevada Mountains, marking the second time such a mammal has been spotted in the California wild in nearly 100 years. Wolverines are members of the weasel family and are known to travel up to 15 miles a day seeking food. The declining American population of wolverines has made them candidates for protection under the federal Endangered Species Act. The state Department of Fish and Wildlife hopes to track the latest wolverine by collecting hair and scat and analyzing more photos and video from those rare Californians who have seen the mammals in the wild.

Rare Wolverine Sighted Twice in California in a Century

A wild wolverine was spotted in California last month, only the second specimen to be verified by experts in the past century. Wolverines are genetically related to weasels and badgers and are listed as threatened under the California Endangered Species Act. The creatures were once widespread in the Sierra Nevada until 1922, but their population was eroded by hunting, trapping, and poisoning. Researchers are keenly interested in learning more about the wolverine and hope to collect genetic samples such as hair, scat, or saliva left at feeding sites.
