martens
Bushy-tailed forest carnivores
Martens are weasel-like mammals prized for their soft, lustrous fur.
They're slender, agile predators found in forests across the Northern Hemisphere, hunting in trees and on the ground.
The fur trade historically valued marten pelts highly, with sable being the most sought-after species.
Pine martens have returned to British woodlands.
