a fifteen-pound fury that will fight a bear over lunch and win the argument.
means A stocky, ferocious carnivore of the weasel family, found in northern forests and tundra, known for its strength, endurance, and appetite far beyond its size.
from From English 'wolf' plus a diminutive-ish ending — essentially 'little wolf' or 'wolf-like one,' a name early observers gave the beast for its predatory ferocity, even though it's no wolf at all but a giant relative of the weasel and badger. Its other name, 'glutton,' comes from the same reputation, echoed in the German 'Vielfraß' (literally 'much-eater'); the scientific name 'Gulo gulo' is simply Latin for 'glutton glutton,' as if once wasn't enough.
