It's official: The fisher (Pekania pennanti), an elusive mammal from the weasel family, has been officially confirmed in Ohio for the first time in over a century! ????
This reclusive animal—about the size of a large cat with a long, bushy tail—was extirpated (locally extinct) from the state since the 1800s. Its confirmed reappearance by Cleveland Metro Parks is a huge win, suggesting that dedicated ecosystem restoration is working!
Conservation success stories like the return of the fisher, bald eagles, and wild turkeys show that nature is resilient. Keep an eye out for this mysterious critter!
Call to Action: What other native species are you hoping makes a comeback in your state? Let us know! ????
