The pine marten has a long, lithe body with chocolate-brown fur and a pale-yellow patch around its throat. It has large, round ears and a long, bushy tail and is similar in size to a small domestic cat. It measures around 60–70cm and weighs approximately 1–2kg. Males are roughly a third bigger than females.
Not to be confused with: weasel or stoat. All of these mustelids are roughly similar in appearance, so it can be easy to mix them up them. Weasels and stoats are much smaller than pine martens. Pine martens are much more likely to be seen in trees than any of those species.
As their name suggests, pine martens favour woodland habitats. Mature trees with holes and cavities are important for the species, as it uses these sheltered spaces to rest and raise its young. Now legally protected, the pine marten population is spreading across Scotland once more, but remains very rare in England and Wales.
