(WWJ) – Here in Michigan, our state has several nicknames – The Great Lakes State, The Mitten, The Water-Winter Wonderland, and of course, The Wolverine State.
The first three are pretty self-explanatory. But aside from various fur trading accounts from the 1700s, there's only been one confirmed wolverine sighting in the last 200 years.
On a new Daily J podcast, WWJ's Brian Fisher explores just how Michigan got the nickname and what exactly happened to the largest member of the weasel family.
