Once threatened by habitat loss and #hunting, pine #martens are recovering in parts of Europe thanks to legal protection and #reforestation. It plays a key role in forest #ecosystems as both predator and seed disperser. #TautonymTuesday #Conservation #MartesMartes Photo: Vince Smith

Pine #martens are built for climbing, with a slender body, semi-retractable claws, and a long tail for balance. It’s solitary and crepuscular, feeding on small #mammals, birds, and fruit. A stealthy forest dweller! #TautonymTuesday #Mustelid #MartesMartes Photo: Green Yoshi
