Pine Marten

Usually shy and curious, pine martens are also solitary and territorial. The pine marten ranges in forests and woodlands across Alaska, Canada and the northern United States.

Neither sex will allow another marten of the same sex in their home territory, though males will tolerate the presence of multiple females.

(I can live with that ;) LOL.)

Pine martens are agile climbers and spend much of their time in trees, where they prey on squirrels and chipmunks. Their diet also includes mice, hares, shrews, birds, bird eggs, amphibians, reptiles, insects, fish, crayfish, nuts, fruit and carrion.
