Habitat: The pine marten’s preferred habitat are mature coniferous forests, places with dead trees to provide cover for its prey.

Food: The marten’s main prey consists of voles but being an opportunistic hunter the pine marten will eat squirrels, bird eggs, chicks, insects, pikas, marmots, and occasionally berries and other vegetation.
