During a lab exercise for reflective writing, I was walking around a woodland area about 100 yards offshore from a river. I found this porcupine pelt on the ground in between trees. After showing it to Dr. Visser, it was determined that the porcupine had been killed by a fisher. Fishers eat the face of the porcupine first, and there was nothing left of this animal except for the pelt.
