E. His hair?The color scheme is mainly represented by a dark brown color.However, animals have two small bright "harness" that are on the sides of the body, from head to rump, grabbing the ass.Feet also covers the beautiful black and shiny fur.But there are individual characteristics in relation to color various animals.So, there are individuals, whose skin color is characterized by a beautiful transition from light to darker brown tones.Autumn molt Wolverines little noticeable, it lasts a couple of months - from August to October.In the spring of the same animal more active fur throws, it happens around March-April.
