Despite its name, the fisher doesn't eat fish or live by the ocean. This shy, plush-furred member of the weasel family inhabits mature forests and munches on everything from birds to small mammals to fruit. In fact, the fisher is the only animal tough and clever enough to prey regularly on porcupines — no easy feat!

The fisher (Pekania pennanti), often mistakenly called a "fisher cat" in Maine, is a fascinating mustelid (weasel family) mammal native to the state's boreal and mixed forests. Here are some cool facts I’ve learned about them over the years: • Misleading Name and Diet: Despite the name "fisher," these animals rarely eat fish. I have seen one with a frog however – in the winter. Their diet primarily consists of porcupines, snowshoe hares, rodents like squirrels, and even fruits, nuts, and mushroo

🎥 Practice makes perfect! This young fisher is learning how to hunt — a must-have skill for life back in the wild. At Aspen Valley, providing live prey is part of rehab for predators, and as you can see… some students need a little extra practice. 😉🐾 #hunting #fisher #learningtohunt #predator #wildliferescue #wildliferehabilitation #wildliferehab | Aspen Valley Wildlife Sanctuary

Fisher (Pekania pennanti) are opportunistic carnivores and generalist predators, and will eat birds when available, including upland species like the ruffed grouse seen in this clip taken in northern Penobscot County last week. After quietly watching where the grouse flew off to for a moment, the fisher casually walked around a bit sniffing before strolling off in a different direction, not using up much energy pursuing it that we saw. The fisher's diet is primarily made up of small to mid-sized

THIS ANIMAL does not care that you have 30,000 DEADLY QUILLS. [SIMULATED] The fisher is one of North America's most secretive and lethal predators, a dark brown weasel that ghosts through dense northern forests with a killing technique so specialized it's become legendary. When a porcupine leave its den, covered in 30,000 barbed quills, most predators know better than to attack, but the fisher doesn't hesitate. Using lightning-quick agility, the fisher circles the porcupine relentlessly, dodging
