When a nature guide and his guests spotted a dark blotch of an animal waddling across a snowy road in Yellowstone National Park, they thought it was a young bear—at first.

The creature soon saw them parked in their Chevy Suburban, looked them straight in the eyes, and seemed to make a connection. It was then that tour guide MacNeil Lyons, 48, realized they were having a once-in-a-lifetime encounter with a Yellowstone wolverine.
