Pine marten - Martes martes - Boommarter

The Pine Marten (Martes martes) is an animal in the weasel family, native to Europe.
The Pine Marten is around the size of a domestic cat. Their fur is usually dark brown and grows longer and less coarse during the winter months. They have a cream colored "bib" marking on their throats.
Its body is up to 53 cm in length, its bushy tail can be 25 cm. Males are slightly larger than females; on average a marten weighs around one and a half kilograms.
Martens are prized for their furs.
The pine marten has lived to 18 years in captivity, but in the wild lifespans of three to four years are more typical. They reach sexual maturity at two or three years of age. The young are usually born in March or April after a month-long gestation period in litters of three or so. Young pine martens weigh around 30 grams at birth. Their eyes open at around five weeks of age.
