Fisher...member of Weasel Family...Larger,though

Habitat

The fisher is a solitary, wide-ranging mammal native to Ontario. A member of the weasel family, the fisher lives in coniferous habitats across much of Canada and the northern U.S.

Fishers prefer mature forests with access to water, and avoid open areas. Primarily nocturnal, the fisher usually spends its days sleeping in hollow trees or logs, but it will occasionally venture out in daylight.
Identification

This slender mammal has brown fur with gold or silver markings on its head, and grows up to 80-112 centimetres (32-43 inches) head to tail, weighing anywhere from 1.5 to 6 kilograms (3-13 pounds).
