∙ 12y agoFishers, or Fisher Cats do not actually eat fish, despite their name! The name is actually derived from the French word "fichet" which meant the pelaged of polecats. So they have nothing to do with fish. They eat small mammals such as squirrels and rodents, and are the only natural predator of the porcupine (they chew upon its face until it dies and then roll it over to eat from the stomach.). They have also been reported, but never confirmed, to have caught deer and even elk! As omnivores, they may also eat berries and wild fruit and nuts.
