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!
[ID: an illustration of a pine marten facing to the right, surrounded by purple flowers and leaves on a green background. End.]

American Martens
American martens, also known as pine martens, are somewhat arboreal (tree dwelling) and move with great ease in trees.  They mark scent trails from tree to tree with their strong scent glands. In spite of this, they are reported to do most of their hunting on the ground. Most hunting occurs at dusk and dawn, when prey species are most active.  In addition, these animals are accomplished swimmers and can even swim under water.
