Pine martens (sables) are one of ten weasel family members found here in Montana. This family includes the highly aggressive wolverine.
Martens are busy and quick in
movement. They are also equipped with a powerful
sense of curiosity. Martens find it
necessary to investigate anything new in the woods where they live—whether
edible or not. During a study of the
species conducted in Glacier National Park, one male marten, in sating his
curiosity, found himself live-trapped 77 times.
