Photos: Kayla the wolverine arrives in Anchorage

Kayla, a 1-year-old wolverine, is the newest addition to the Alaska Wildlife Conservation Center.

Alaska Wildlife Conservation Center employee Sarah Howard flew to New Jersey to get Kayla, and on Saturday morning brought her to Alaska, director Mike Miller said.

The Skanes Zoological Park in Hoor, Sweden, contacted AWCC about Kayla. "For some reason, they have some extra (wolverines), which is unheard of in North America," Miller said.
