A Fisher that Rarely Eats Fish

From the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service:




Despite their name, the fisher rarely eats fish. They are one of the few predators able to hunt porcupine. Fishers are in the same family (Mustelidae) as the American marten we highlighted a few days ago. Fishers are larger and darker than martens.
