Jeff Wendorff's photography portfolio of
Fishers from the family Mustilidae.
The
Fisher (Martes pennanti) is a weasel native to North America. It is a member of the mustelid family, commonly referred to as the weasel family. The
Fisher is closely related to but larger than the American Marten (Martes americana). The
Fisher is a forest-dwelling creature whose range covers much of the boreal forest in Canada to the northern fringes of the United States. Names derived from aboriginal languages include pekan, pequam, and wejack. It is also sometimes referred to as a
Fisher Cat, although it is not a feline.
