Facts About Fishers In The Adirondacks
The fisher, also known as the fisher cat, is actually a medium-sized member of the weasel family, and not a feline. Native to North America, fishers are commonly found in the Adirondacks.
Male and female fishers differ in length and weight. The male fisher averages a length of 35-47 inches, and the female averages 30-37 inches. The male also weighs more at an average of 7-13 pounds, with the female half that at 3-7 pounds. The most recognizable features include its broad head, narrow muzzle, and long, bushy tail.
The dark, long-haired fisher varies in color from dark brown to black, but adult males have a less uniform coloring; they take on a more grizzled appearance with multicolored hairs around the shoulders, neck, and upper back. The short, furry creatures look friendly, but fishers are predators, and they have sharp, retractable claws.
