Less mainstream factsThe term “pine marten” refers to the Eurasian pine marten (Martes martes), but it is also commonly applied to the North American marten (Martes americana), due to their similar appearance. While they may be widely considered the only “pine martens” of the genus Martes, their shared common name can lead to confusion, since both mustelids are actually their own species, and—as their names indicate—live on completely different continents. The word “pine” can also be misleading, given neither of these semi-arboreal species use pine trees exclusively. Similarly, the beech marten (Martes foina) does not have a preference for beech trees.
