The American marten, or American pine marten, is a North American mammal. This animal is a long, slender-bodied weasel about the size of a mink. It has large, rounded ears, short limbs, and a bushy tail. The head has a triangular shape and a sharp nose.
Long, silky fur covers the body, ranging from pale yellowish buff to tawny brown or almost black. The head is usually lighter than the rest of the body. The tail and legs have darker fur. Martens have a throat and chest bib that ranges from pale straw to vivid orange color.
These mammals have limited body-fat reserves. They experience high heat loss for their size and have limited fasting endurance. During the winter, they enter a state of slowed body activity that animals use to save energy and survive harsh weather and food shortages.
