Mink or Fisher?

[Robin]

Poor little guy was dead in the road in front of the house. I was in a hurry and didn't get a picture of the face which would make it a bit easier to tell. Looks like a big mink or a small fisher to me. Is the fisher the one with the longer tail? I know we have minks around here, and fishers are widening their territories by leaps and bounds, so I'm not sure.

I would say Fisher or marten.

Well, somebody 'scarfed' it up, when I got back home it was gone.

Looks more like a pine martin,
Doesn't look like a Fisher.
How big was it?

 

[dubleuhb]

This is a female Fisher.

Without the tail, I'd say 16". Pine martin has a skinny face and a color variation around the bib area, definitely not a martin.

Sent the pic to my trapper buddy, he says definitely a mink.

I have them by the niagara River by me.
I too saw a dead one today in the road. Never seen one dead in the road in my life. The babies are cute.

I think the mink has a straight tail while the fisher tail has more of a taper. That’s how I usually can tell the difference on trail cam
