@truckerenoch8824 3 года назад

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!

@ashleymckenna2808 Год назад

You are absolutely right about them being insanely clever! I own a ferret and she amazes me with with her genius on a daily basis! And I also agree with your idea about them forming a pack due to observing other pack carnivores such as wolves and coyotes!

They are powerful little beasties its a good symbol to have haha. Small but can take on things MUCH larger than themselves and is even capable of even scaring away Foxes and Lone Wolves etc... very impressive. They are literally Squirrels but 100x better.

@lightlife07 3 года назад

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 !

Oh I can see where that would cause a lot of problems for homeowners! It can be tough to strike a balance!

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

@pacific_marten 3 года назад

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.

@AnimalFactFiles 3 года назад

Yup! That's right! There are also Japanese martens who are associated with trickery. They've been depicted in hyakkiyagyo (the parade of one hundred demons) scrolls and are part of folklore. I've been studying the Japanese language and culture for nearly three years now, so whenever I get a chance to include a lesser known bit about it I try to do so. Thanks for commenting and hope you enjoyed learning about this other tricky yokai!

@pacific_marten 3 года назад

@@AnimalFactFiles Thanks for the reply. Very cool about your studies. I got to do research / study in Japan (biology) awhile back. I hope you get to visit (if you're not already there) Japan in the future once the current situation clears up. 頑張ってください

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."

Nice footage. m.ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-frp0lF9RVBk.html Here's my pal Marty a close relative to the American Pine Marten the European Pine Marten (Martes martes) filmed not too far from a large town. I have a playlist of Pine Marten footage on my channel. They are starting to do well again in Ireland and are extending their range. But are still considered a rare sight in general. But that is partly due to their nature. They were restricted to only one or two areas (e.g. the Burren in Co. Clare) and close to extinction until quite recently.

@snagrbuster7343 2 года назад

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 🥺🥺🤔🤔🤔

@EricWoodyVariety59 2 года назад

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.
