Carcajous

/ˈkɑːr.kə.ʒuːz/ noun

Definition

Plural of carcajou; multiple wolverines.

Etymology

Carcajou + -s (standard English plural marker). The original Algonquian word may or may not have had plural forms, but English regularized it.

Kelly Says

Carcajous are solitary animals, so seeing multiple wolverines together is rare—they're fiercely territorial. Spotting a pair of carcajous would be an unforgettable wilderness moment, though probably a frightening one.
