All that camera blur I thought maybe you found Usama bin Laden!

[Dysart]

That’s a bear cub.

[DeLaine]

You seriously need to get a tripod.

Bearcat?(Bintarong)

Never heard of those. Interesting looking creature. What, your dogs didn’t go after it? No treats in their stockings this year.

IS IT CAN BE LOLBEAR TIEM?

It is a Fisher, but most refer to it as a Fisher Cat. They hunt wild and domestic small game, as in your cat, dog etc. They have very sharp claws, can shred its capture in seconds. Saw one here in my NH drive last spring, took two tries to get the chipmunk for lunch.

I can say definitely it is not a bear cub. Too early for them and bears do not have long tails.

I think it is a Fisher Cat, I found a website that reported a sighting in Groton... so they’re in your neck of the woods. Apparently pretty rare, and nocturnal.

[Daffynition]

You may indeed have a fisher. I understand from a CT hunter that the DEP reintroduced them to control the turkey population ... not sure how true that is.

I know we have fishers in this general area but I haven't seen one yet. I've seen several martens, which are basically smaller versions of fishers. Martens have nicer looking pelts, too.

Very cool that you caught it on video.
