American marten

Description

Oh hiii! Is this the trail? Spotted scampering in the Sunrise area, this usually elusive American marten appeared to be enjoying the weekend. Despite appearances, martens are actually formidable hunters. Members of the weasel family, they eat squirrels, birds, hares, insects, and eggs. In winter, their long narrow bodies work well for tunnelling under the snow in search of voles and shrews. Filmed in 2024.
