B.C. university student rescues trio of fisher kits near 100 Mile House

A trio of orphaned fisher kits are on their way to recovery thanks to the quick actions of a Thompson Rivers University graduate student.

Werden eventually found Gina's remains, a pile of intestines and her head, and theorized she must have been eaten by a lynx. Knowing that Gina gave birth to three fisher kits two months ago, Werden hurried to Gina's denning tree located 12 feet up a tall aspen tree. Based on footage from cameras set up around the den she determined Gina had left the kits 26 hours earlier and that they hadn't left in that time.

On Saturday morning Davis, Werden, Alphonse and members of the Esk’etemc Land Guardians returned to the scene where it was determined the tree was too old and dead to safely climb. When fishers den Werden said they look for older and rotten trees that create hollows where they can keep their young safe from predators.

"The kits were gently placed in a moss-lined bin and given some food. Shannon raced them down to the BC Wildlife Park in Kamloops where they were assessed by a veterinarian," Davis said.
