European Pine Marten
The European pine marten (Martes martes), also known as the pine marten or the
European marten, is a mustelid native to and widespread in Northern Europe. It
is classified as Least Concern on the IUCN Red List. It is less commonly also
known as baum marten, or sweet marten. The European pine marten's fur is
usually light to dark brown. It is short and coarse in the summer, growing
longer and silkier during the winter. It has a cream- to yellow-coloured "bib"
marking on its throat. Its body is up to 53 cm (21 in) long, with a bushy tail
of about 25 cm (10 in). Males are slightly larger than females; typically, it
weighs around 1.5–1.7 kg (3.3–3.7 lb). It has excellent senses of sight,
smell, and hearing. The European pine marten inhabits well-wooded areas.
Martens are the only mustelids with semiretractable claws. This enables them
to lead more arboreal lifestyles, such as climbing or running on tree
branches, although they are also relatively quick runners on the ground. They
are mainly active at night and dusk. They have small, rounded, highly
sensitive ears and sharp teeth adapted for eating small mammals, birds,
insects, frogs, and carrion. They have also been known to eat berries, birds'
eggs, nuts, and honey. The European pine marten is territorial and marks its
home range by depositing feces. Its scat is black and twisted.
