European Pine Marten in a meadow. :-) peace and contentment.

This will be one of the prints for my crow tier Bird Mail members this month!

Could you help me identify these creatures? They are definitely mustelid shaped, but I can't figure out the species.

Unfortunately I don't have the post this image came from, and that post didn't have a species ID.

Those are European pine martens at the British Wildlife Centre!

They're an educational facility and their animals are non-releasable, and their handler Matt has been working with them for over 20 years years. They were actually a big part in fueling my mustelid obsession! I'd love to go visit someday if I could scrape together the money for a trip.

WHAT IF I TOLD YOU

that there was a ferocious cat-sized weasel-like beast roaming around Asia capable of killing and eating deer? 

this is the kharza or yellow-throated marten. Its babies are too cute for words:

In addition to deer, it eats rodents, hares, snakes, lizards, eggs, birds, small cats and fruit. It has few predators. It is very smelly.

The kharza hunts deer by driving them onto ice. According to Wikipedia, 2-3 of these martens can consume an entire deer carcass in a few days.

The kharza is found in Afghanistan, Pakistan, the Himalayas of India, Nepal and Bhutan, Korea, southern China, Taiwan, eastern Russia, Bangladesh, Myanmar, Thailand, the Malay Peninsula, Laos, Cambodia and Vietnam. 

The tail makes up half of the kharza’s length, which is between 50–72 cm (19.7–28.3 in).  Females weigh 1.6–3.8 kg (3.5–8.4 lb) while males weigh 2.5–5.7 kg (5.5–12.6 lb).

Like other mustelids (weasels, ferrets, mink) the kharza is capable of taking down prey many times its size, is fearless, powerfully built, and adorable!

pine marten :-)

Fierce little cat-sized mustelids (members of the weasel family) who rest in trees during the day and hunt small mammals at dusk and nighttime. They are great climbers and usually make dens in tree cavities for raising their kits, but have also been known to use squirrel dreys and birds’ nests. If they fall from a tree they can twist in midair like a cat to land on their feet!

These are the three main characters of a story I've been working on! I'm notoriously bad at actually seeing projects through without constantly jumping onto new ones, but who knows, maybe this one will be it! With how much these critters have been on my brain lately I sure hope so pfft

Hello!

You may have already answered this but I LOVE your martens and I was wondering if you have any premades going up for sale in 2023 and generally do you announce right before you are going to be selling the plush?

Thank you so much! Yes two of them will be available sometime in 2023. I'll announce a couple weeks ahead of my shop drop to give people time to prepare.

These are the two that will be available:
