Wolverines in North American zoos

[StellarChaser]

May I get to know how many zoos in North America currently have Wolverines? I know Alaska has 4, Detroit has 2, Columbus, Minnesota and New York City Zoo also have Wolverine but I don't know the exact numbers. The only zoo in Canada that has Wolverine is Saint Felicien. Any other zoos also have them?

Minnesota has, Zoo Montana is trying. Worth noting that they're European wolverines, not natives.

Well, lot of animals in US & Canadian zoos are not native, like Tigers, Lions, Giraffes, Rhinos, all the Primates, etc. But the zoos still breed them, just consider Eurasian Wolverines as something like BinturongAmerican Wolverines are too rare in captivity, Eurasian Wolverines can be a good substitute for display and education.

How do they prevent Wolverine from escaping?

How do they prevent Wolverine from escaping?

1. There is electrified cabling;
2. There is more barrier that isn't shown in the photographs.

Northwest Trek designs a lot of their exhibits to look as natural as possible, with disguised barriers.

Northwest Trek:

This exhibit is a huge improvement to the zoo's previous enclosure, expanding the total area to be thirteen times larger. Now the wolverines have nearly a quarter acre to themselves! Not many zoos could afford to devote that much land to megafauna species, much less a smaller mammal like a mustelid.
