Aalto University study of wolverine distribution shows population has spread southwards.

Population monitoring is based on counting their tracks in the snow, so winters with little snow make counting difficult.

Wolverine sightings are rarest in Uusimaa and Southwest Finland .

Species known to have lived in southern Finland as late as the 19th century due to hunting.
