Less mainstream factsThere are several videos on places like YouTube perpetuating the widespread belief that the fisher (Pekania pennanti) screams like a banshee in the night. Apart from the questionable fact that we never actually see the animal in these videos, the fisher is a mostly silent mustelid and rarely gives its location. These sounds are more likely made by the red fox (Vulpes vulpes). It is also possible that sometimes people are hearing wails from the fisher’s prey and are assuming the sounds are coming from the a fisher.
