  1. They have few normal predators.  However, desperate carnivores like wolves, black bears, and cougars will make a snack of them if hungry enough, as will some birds of prey.  Curious;y enough some humans will as well.


  2. The Fisher. http://lsb.syr.edu/projects/cyberzoo/fis...

    The fisher looks like a thin overgrown weasel. The male measures 40 inches long and weighs no more than 20 pounds. The female has 35% less fat and is about 10% shorter than the male, which is covered in fur. The fur is blackish-brown and the fisher has a pale gray spot on its head and shoulders. It has a pale face and very dark feet. The fisher has a long body, short legs, a pointed face, rounded ears, and a bushy tail that weighs about 2 pounds.

    From November to March the fisher gets thick, soft fur. Therefore, trappers kill 50,000 to 130,000 of these animals per year. They use the fur for coats, hats, and muffs. The fisher is now protected by law. The fisher is a carnivorous animal. It eats rodents such as mice, rabbits, squirrels, and birds. The fisher is one of the fastest and most aggressive hunters in the North Country. Its name is deceptive because it does not specialize in catching fish, but it does kill deer, sheep, and caribou. It also eats porcupines and can escape from their sharp needles. The fisher also bites into the stomach of the porcupine, and eats what it wants, and then leaves it wherever it kills this animal. The fisher is also known as a black cat, pekan, or wood stock. It is in the Mustelidae family.

    Having quills does not necessarily mean that the porcupine's life is trouble free. Large cats, especially lions, and human hunters (bushmeat trade) threaten Old World porcupines. New World porcupines’ predators include martens, wolverines, pythons, eagles, and great horned owls. The porcupine's one natural predator, the fisher, is able to flip the North American porcupine onto its back, exposing its unprotected belly. In fact, the fisher has been reintroduced to some areas of North America in hopes of bringing destructive populations of porcupines under control.
