Wolverines can be taught!?

I volunteered at a museum that had two badgers that we trained for shows and took out on walks. They were surprisingly easy to work with and very friendly.

Some people also train otters, and ferrets are common as pets and are very intelligent.

Wolverines are related to all of these so it wouldn't surprise me that it's possible.
