The Pine Marten


The Pine Marten - native to Northern Europe. Adults are about 50cm long and weigh 1.5 kg. They love hollow trees, and are great climbers.

Pine Martens have few predators other than humans. Demand for their fur has hurt their population, but they're now protected. The Mammal Society has a good page about them:
