The snow marten is a graceful predator with a long, slender body and a fluffy tail. It is a carnivorous mammal with sharp claws for digging, and short legs. The marten is extremely fast over land, and is known to raid the eggs from nesting water fowl. On rare occasions the martens have been seen dragging off an unwary fledgling whose mother wasn't looking. A snow marten is in an excellent condition. | |
