Last summer, a fisher, a rare animal from the weasel family, was spotted with a trail camera in Murrysville.
PixCams, an organization that offers various wildlife livestreams, says fishers are the second largest member of the weasel family in Pennsylvania.
Adult males weigh between seven and fifteen pounds and are between 35 and 48 inches long, while adult females weigh between four and nine pounds and are between 30 and 37 inches long.
The length of the fisherman in the photo is estimated at 91 centimeters.
According to PixCams, fishers are known for their ability to hunt porcupines and are unique forest carnivores that forage for food in the treetops or on the ground.
