Nature's little oddities

Most people are familiar with porcupines. Those that aren't, are probably spending their entire lives playing with any number of varieties of flightless, snow covered birds that swim quite well. Just about every animal - and person - out there, knows (or quickly comes to said knowledge) not to mess with a porcupine.

Now then, there also exists an animal called the fisher, which not quite as many people know about. This cute little guy (or gal) is only a couple of feet long, weighs around ten pounds give or take, and is very adept at killing and eating porcupines. They do this by biting the porcupine in the face until the porcupine goes into shock or can't defend itself anymore, and then they flip it over and make the kill through the stomach, as the quills do not protect its underbelly.

The real clever part about all of this is, fishers don't live in areas with porcupines.
