Ever seen a Fisher (aka Fisher Cat) in the wild? This sneaky, fierce mustelid is sniffing around in the snow - most folks have no clue what it is! Quick facts: - Not a cat & rarely eats fish – it's a weasel relative! - Porcupine hunter extraordinaire: circles, tires them out, then attacks the face to avoid quills. - Agile climber with rotating ankles for head-first descents. - Size of a large house cat, dark fur, bushy tail. - Shy, solitary predator keeping rodents in check. Super rare sighting
