Beech Marten

Beech martens inhabit woodland edges, rocky areas, farms, and towns across much of Europe and western Asia. Mostly active at night, they climb well and hunt rodents, birds, eggs, insects, and fruit. A pale throat bib distinguishes this species, and it often shelters in buildings or roof spaces near people.
