Martes martes - European and Asian wooded areas with scrub covered fields are ideal habitats for the European pine marten. It is the only member of the Mustelid family with semi-retractable claws. This feature allows the pine marten to extend its forging range to include trees. The pine marten’s diet is varied and consists of rodents, frogs, birds, and insects. They will also eat carrion, berries, nuts, and honey when available. Pine martens living near water have been known to eat crabs and barnacles.
