marten

Small bushy-tailed carnivorous mammal belonging to the weasel family. Martens live in North America, Europe, and temperate regions of Asia, and are agile tree climbers. (Genus Martes, family Mustelidae.)

The sable (M. zibellina) lives in eastern Siberia, and provides the most valued fur. The largest marten is the fisher (M. pennanti) of North America, with black fur and reaching 125 cm/4 ft in length.
