Baby Fisher Cat
This guy found an injured baby Fisher Cat while walking his dog in Massachusetts. I’ve never heard an animal screech like this!

What video are you looking at? Obviously they came upon the Fisher unexpectedly and put the dog on the leash as soon they could. It seems you get a charge out of calling people names on the internet. I suggest you get a life instead.

Wow, man I just got through a whole disturbing hour thinking someone was being tortured and hurt, washing dishes in my kitchen this evening, I heard this blood curdling screaming, screeching, called my mother to come outside to listen, as I thought it was a human, she listened, concurred it sounded “eerily human, after asking my mom who’s here visiting from Hawaii, I call the police. After about 25 minutes of hearing them speed around the neighborhood and returning to my backyard to ascertain the location of the screaming… End up finding out it is a fisher cat, probably a baby… Who feels like an !@#?

I live in Ledgedale Pa. and have had several nights of screaming and driving the dog insane.
We did manage to see one in the daytime on our property. Very rare.

There is one hunting in my barn during the day. My husband, daughter and neighbor have all seen him, and he is huge!! There aren’t supposed to be any in Georgia (40 minutes south of Atlanta!!). I will call the Department of Fish and Wildlife tomorrow.

I heard a fisher last night at 2:45am- it woke me from a sound sleep and scared the crap out of me. I’ve heard them before…this one was fighting with something..sounded like it was killing a racoon

Hey Lloyd-
While I don’t condone name calling- how “unexpected” was it if you have time to capture the whole thing on video? Video camera first and then dog on leash was NOT the way to go in this situation. As an evolutionary biologist it’s pretty scary watching people interact with things they don’t understand. It’s always best to give nature a wide berth in that situation.

[...] singing ability of the congregations I served in can be described with one word, abysmal. Fisher cats have more musical ability. But one thing the Brazilians have in spades is spirit. I felt the spirit amid the cacophony [...]

“v”
I’m not impressed by your self-assigned title of “evolutionary biologist”. I highly doubt you’re paid for those “skills”. Your comments are just as lame.

Todd-
Good point about the “evolutionary biologist” thing.
Seriously, though, the screams I hear are more like a howling, maniacal laughter (of an animal- not some crazy person in my woods)- I am asking you because you are not a self-proclaimed evolutionary biologist- any thoughts?

I would think that as an “evolutionary biologist”, you would say “let the dog maul the fisher baby to death”. You know, evolutionists say “survival of the fittest”. No, I do not think you are completely believing in evolutionary nonsense. I think those people did pretty well in that situation. I hope they called the wildlife people to come rescue that baby.

Fishers are a medium-size mammal. Their body shape is long, thin, and low to the ground. They are sexually dimorphic with the male being larger than the female. Males are between 90 to 120 centimetres (35–47 in) in length and weigh between 3.5 to 5 kilograms (8–11 lb). Females measure 75 to 95 centimetres (30–37 in) and weigh between 2 to 2.5 kilograms (4–6 lb).[7] The largest ever male fisher recorded weighed 9 kilograms (20 lb).[8]

Ten years ago, wifey and I camped in the Highwoods sort of south and east of Great Falls, MT. The camp ground was a big circle. I followed deer through the middle of the circle. There, I saw an animal I had never seen, and never heard of. I sat on a log. This creature darted in and out of a hole at the bottom of a big rotted tree. It was toying with me. It was playfull. I went and got wifey and showed her the beast. I ask”ed, “What is it?”. She said, “Heck if I know. But it looks like the biggest weasel on earth.” Come to find out, she wasn’t too far off.
