WARNING! Prey includes all small creatures; mice (eaten whole), squirrels, rabbits, porcupines, and House Pets, especially cats and small (up to 30 lbs.+) dogs. Please be wary of leaving your pet out alone to roam on the Island at any time. There are no natural predators on the Island to keep the Fisher population at a reasonable level. These creatures have become bolder as their numbers increase and prey is depleted. Island Fishers are extremely aggressive in their quest for food and could attack if provoked. Exercise caution if encountering one of these members of the marten family. Some have been found in and around the garbage bins, please keep the areas around the bins clean.
