Marten Facts: CUTE but DEADLY | Animal Fact Files

I just captured a video today of a Martin on the Oregon coast.

Wonder if MOTH-MAN has a pet Marten???

Wtf is that nasty accent

I love marten and ferret

I work at a tribal park on Vancouver island and we have endangered pine martens and they are cute af

Yellow throated martens not only take down twenty pounds musk deer but have also been known to hunt 80 pound Himalayan Tahr, and even savaged a 3 year old giant panda and left it to die

Watching them killing monkeys is something you won't forget in a hurry 😂

Are soft spoken, w/ strong Ferocity

Marten Klan Ojibwe

this creature is my Patronus

my name is marten

I love these guys. Proof that whatever you lack in size or power you can make up for with sheer enthusiasm.

Actually got to know a yellow-throated marten for a few years. A very friendly girl.
Never seen any other kind with my own eyes, but I'm hopeful.

Facts, that what matters.

Wow! I never knew that Martens could take down a deer!😱 Thanks again AFF!😍

Cutest murderers ever.

you named all the other animals that could prey on martens accept Cougars which can kill just about any thing in the wilderness. Cougars are Top predators.

Interestingly, the annoying-to-google-the-common-name "Fisher" (Pekania pennanti) used to be considered just a really big marten. Even a few of the Native American names literally translate to "Big Marten."

What do the carnivoran families Ictonychidae (Zorillas, African Striped Weasel, Marbled Polecat, Patagonian Weasel, Grisons, Wolverine, Tayra, Martens, and Fisher) and Eupleridae (Malagasy Carnivorans) have in common?

Several members of the family Ictonychidae are excellent predators.

Don't mean to be rude, however you pronounce Marten like the American Pronunciation for MARTIN (People's Name). The Proper pronunciation for the aforementioned animal here, is Mar - Ten !! Also Please give us the definition for Scat, especially that we don't know how to get the definition on the net 🥺🥺🤔🤔🤔

And theres some video of martens attacking monkeys too! Fearsome

Martens are natural born killers!

Marten=DEMON time 😈

Just learned of these things today. They're fierce little buggers.

They do not take on Deer.
They eat carrion and encounter dead deer, but that is it.

Pls do "Groundhog"
I want to learn something about this pigs.

Your biggest cousin to wolverine can take down bears including cougars wolves we seen it before we have never seen them like that in our life

I want a video on red panda please they are so majestic 🔥.

Tanuki (aka raccoon dog) is part of the canidae family (like wolves, dogs, foxes, etc). Kitsune is japanese for fox. Both are associated with trickery but have different themes and ways of going about mischief in Japanese lore. They're not related to martens so I'm not sure how that tidbit got in there.

Marten's are Croatia's national animal. We even named our currency after them (Kuna).

martens dont lay eggs

The currency in croatia is kuna which is the croatian word for marten because their furs used to serve as currency

How cuiuteee

Mink, Marten, weasels, etc. are some of the best organic rodent control you can get in the northern great lakes area!

It seems quite possible they picked up the pack mentality from watching wolves and/or coyotes from their lofty perches in the trees. They're very observant and insanely clever, so it's kind of a no brainer that they could easily see the benefit of teamwork!

Fact: European Pine Martens are a protected species in the UK, but in central Europe they are very much a pest, with many preferring to make their homes in the attics of houses located near to woodland or forests. They destroy roof insulation and soil the attic causing a bad smell. Cute - yes, a pain to get rid of - definitely !

This is why the Irish want to kill them they cannot kill a deer. They eat carrion.

I caught 3 today

Thank youuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu very much! These animals are my favorite!

They are adorable!

We need an episode on that dracula deer, or as I like to call it... "Deeracula"

I hope that anybody has a marten in their zoo they named it Lawrence
