The pine marten is omnivorous, with small mammals forming the major part of its diet, particularly in winter. It feeds on voles (Microtus agrestis) and other rodents, birds such as the treecreeper (Certhia familiaris) and capercaillie chicks (Tetrao urogallus), insects, frogs and carrion .
Also known as the pine marten or American sable, the marten is a house catâsized member of the weasel family. To Alaskaâs Koyukon people, the marten is known as sooga, or âbrother of the wolverine,â to which the marten is closely related. The slender but powerful marten moves phenomenally fast in trees, often catching red squirrels after high-speed chases.
