The pine marten is a nocturnal animal.
During the daytime, it sleeps in tree hollows or bird nests.
What kind of animals are martens
Distribution area of the marten: Scandinavia, Russia, England, Germany, France, Hungary, Italy, Spain, Asia (up to Altai and the sources of the Yenisei).
Martens live in dense, dark deciduous and coniferous forests.
They settle in trees and climb so well that not a single predatory mammal can compare with them in this.
A camera trap set in a forest in southwest London captured images of a pine marten.
As experts from the Zoological Society of London note, this is the first meeting of a representative of this species in the British capital in more than a hundred years.
The life of the pine marten is closely connected with the forest, where it obtains food, builds nests in tree hollows and hatches young, and moves easily in the treetops.
Uses voids near tree roots as shelters. In winter, the main food of martens is mouse-like rodents (gray and bank voles).
It feeds on berries, nuts, insects, rodents, and birds.
The marten has its own assigned territory. Prefers to live in spruce and mixed forests; it is much less common in pine forests.
The marten prefers to look for food in ravines abounding in windfalls at the edge of the forest.
Previously, we talked about flamingos.
