FISHER CAT COMPILATION - White Mountains, NH. The elusive fisher is commonly and incorrectly reffered to as fisher "cat"; however, they are part of the weasel family and have no relation to felines. They tend to get a bad rap, but are integral pieces of the ecosystem...especially because they possess a specialized set of skills to prey on porcupines. #whitemountains #nh #newhampshire #wildlifewednesday #wildlife #wildernesswednesday #wildlifephotography #nature #naturephotography #fishercat #liv
