What animal is also known as the glutton?
"Wolverine The wolverine () (also spelled wolverene), ""Gulo gulo"" (""Gulo"" is Latin for ""glutton""), also referred to as the glutton, carcajou, skunk bear, or quickhatch, is the largest land-dwelling species of the family Mustelidae. It is a stocky and muscular carnivore, more closely resembling a small bear than other mustelids. A solitary animal, it has a reputation for ferocity and strength out of proportion to its size, with the documented ability to kill prey many times larger than itself. The wolverine is found primarily in remote reaches of the Northern boreal forests and subarctic and alpine tundra of the Northern"

The wolverine's questionable reputation as an insatiable glutton (reflected in the Latin genus name ""Gulo"") may be in part due to a false etymology. The less common name for the animal in Norwegian, ""fjellfross"", meaning ""mountain cat"", is thought to have worked its way into German as ""Vielfraß"", which means ""glutton"" (literally ""devours much""). Its name in other West Germanic languages is similar (e.g. ). The Finnish name"

"Gaur The gaur (, ""Bos gaurus""), also called the Indian bison, is the largest extant bovine. This species is native to South and Southeast Asia. It has been listed as Vulnerable on the IUCN Red List since 1986. Population decline in parts of its range is likely to be more than 70% during the last three generations. However, population trends are stable in well-protected areas, and are rebuilding in a few areas which previously had been neglected. The gaur is the tallest of wild cattle species.

Wolverines may find carrion themselves, feed on it after the predator (often, a pack of wolves) has finished, or simply take it from another predator. Wolverines are also known to follow wolf and lynx trails, purportedly with the intent of scavenging the remains of their kills. Whether eating live prey or carrion, the wolverine's feeding style appears voracious, leading to the nickname of ""glutton"" (also the basis of the scientific name).
