      ‏ Innate Nature in man recognizes what is good and bad, what is true and false. It recognizes that the Attributes of Allah must be True, Unique, and All-Perfect. It does not feel comfortable towards any kind of degradation of His Attributes not does it qualities to the Creator. Many who became “discontent with God” did so because of the practices of the Church in medieval Europe and because of the claims of “god dwelling in a son” and the concept of the “original sin”. However, they “escaped” into worshipping a new theory called “mother nature” as well as the “material” World. With the advancement of materialistic technology others from different religions adopted the concept of “forgetting about God” and “let us live this life and enjoy it!”, not realizing that they have chosen the worship of the “original god” of Rome: Desire!.
      ‏NOW we can see that all of this materialistic and secular progress produced a spiritual vacuum that led to complex social, economical, political, and psychological problems. Many of those who “fled” their “religions” are in search again. Some try to “escape” the complexity of their daily lives via various means. Those who had the chance to examine the Qur’an and Islam, proceed with a complete way of life that relates man to establish a purpose for his presence on earth. This is well recognized in the Attributes of Allah and what does He require from man. He does not want man to be enslaved to any false deity: nature, drugs, lust, money, other man, desire, or sex. He provides man with the proofs that He is the One who can redeem so that man can free himself from the slavery to any form of creation and to turn to his Creator Alone. THIS Creator Has Perfect Attributes. He is the First, nothing is before Him, the Ever Living. To Him is the Final Return where everyone will be dealt with in the Most Perfect and Just way. He does not begot nor He is begotten. Those who attribute Divinity to Jesus forget or ignore the fact that Jesus was in a mother’s womb. He needed nutrition; he was born and grew up to be a man. He was trusted with the Gospel as a Message to the Children of Israel: “For there is One God, and one mediator (i.e. a messenger) between God and men (the
      ‏ Children of Israel), the man Christ Jesus) (I Timothy 2:5). A man-messenger calling his nation not to worship him: “But in vain they do worship me!” (Mathew 15:9). A man who needs to eat, walk, sleed, rest, etc.. cannot have Divine Attributes because he is in need and God (Allah) is Self-Sufficient.

      squirrels vary a lot. This must have been a juvenile or had some form of genetical deficiency. I think there is a lot of inbreeding among squirrels and some are born mentally handicaped. They dont have the normal heightened sense of fear and don't run away. This is how nature takes care of them.

The fishers in those videos are much larger, maybe twice the size. Maybe the one in this video is a small and or female fisher. Or it could be a pine marten.

      i once found a wild squirrel that behaved strangely, avoiding me but not really running away. Not running for its life up the tree but instead circling it exactly like this squirrel at a very low height. After a lengthy observation i concluded it had some genetical mental issue, probably from inbreeding. Predators can detect an unfit squirrel and will prey on it. I think this is what is happening in this video. An adult healthy squirrel would have run up and then jumped to another tree.

    The mustalidea family (weasels) are very formidable (wolverines and badgers are in this family) the fisher has rotating rear ankles along with retractable claws which enable it to adeptly climb headfirst down trees with great speed. Fishers are actually quicker than squirrels, that being said not sure if the squirrel would have any advantage going higher in the tree, fisher wouldn’t necessarily be afraid of falling since it could grasp any branches on the way down its fall and break its fall.

      Fishers (or any member of the weasel family) are just all-around bad ass animals. When I was a kid living in Maine, I went night fishing for catfish with my dad and a few of his friends, and one of the guys saw what appeared to be a feral cat on the side of the road, as a Fisher weighs about the same as the average Tabby cat. So the guy lightly kicked it (thinking it might get run over by a car), and he quickly realized what he kicked was no cat, as the animal did a frenzied attack on the guy's boot, then it ran off into the brush. Years later I found out Fishers are closely related to the Wolverine, and that's when that incident made perfect sense lol.

    Fishers are such cool predators. A shame that their original range was decimated by the fur trade and people exterminating them as pests. They prey on tons of small mammals, squirrel and porcupine populations exploded in their absence. They could also be added to the various predators that keep invasive house cats under control.
    Hopefully they can get reintroduced before our forests face any more ecological discord.

    Why do people call it a fisher cat? It's not a feline at all; it's a weasel.

    Really cool video. The chances of getting that on film is 1/1mil. Thanks for sharing.

    These things were introduced in my state around 1975 and teh result has been disastrous...we have but a small population of rabbits of every kind, our hawks are all endangered-only about ten pair of the following types remain: Marsh harrier, Coopers, & the Goshawk...most of the neighborhood cats ahve disappeared..the black duck is vastly reduced as it is very vulnerable nesting in a thicket well away from water..virtually all sparrows, almost all the yellow shafted flickers,and many others.

    If this was filmed in massachucetts its a fisher not a marten. Probably a female or a juvenile. Marten are not that far south.

    I love both animals. But I do wish squirrels were a bit smarter so that during these moments they would know to climb higher and higher, to jump from tree to tree where fisher cats are less agile and acrobatic and fear falling that high up. But squirrels are frantic animals and their brains react for the moment not the long run, in these cases.

    Is that a fisher or a pine marten?

    Remarkable video! It was formidable and very impressive to see the fisher chase the squirrel up and down the tree. Interestingly, fishers are not related to felines, they are mustelids - their family tree includes otters, mink, badgers and wolverines. In Ontario, they are typically found north of the Canadian Shield in boreal habitats. -ON Noah

      TheTrapper70 - True. That is a Pine Martin. Fishers are larger members of the Weasel Family next in size to the Wolverine (largest weasel). A Fisher Cat is the name given to a small member of the wild cat family that primarily eats fish.

    I can assure everyone this is an American Marten. Fishers tails are longer in proportion to their bodies than martens . Also a fisher is much larger in width compared to length than a marten. No chance this is a fisher
