Minnesota Trail Fisher

A fantastic species that I would love to see... Unfortunately they're not likely to pop up on this side of the pond anytime soon! :(

Fishers are somewhat surprisingly incredibly rare in captivity in North American zoos, as I've seen them at Northwest Trek Wildlife Park, Charles Paddock Zoo, Minnesota Zoo, Rosamond Gifford Zoo...and that is perhaps it in my 180 different zoos and aquariums (mainly American collections). They are one of those species that simply fall through the cracks.

It's a shame that the small and unusual are often overlooked, when these creatures are active they make great displays.
