I do believe that the Russians use both Fisher and Martin fur as "Sable" The animals that our good friend raised from orphans appear to be Pine Martins or the Euro eqivalent of. Fishers are a much larer animal and don't have nearly as much white on the face. They are also not nearly as acrobatic as the Martins are...since their main diet is tree dwelling species such as squirrrels. Man can they ever "parachute", huh? Neat videos from there. As for Gorky Park they used true Fishers I believe. But I have been known to err. I'll have to go back a review the movie again!!! Putorius and the gang of nine most recently missing MAX!
