Location: Algonquin Park, Canada
Pine Marten sometimes referred to as the American Marten captured while hiking in Algonquin Park. These little guys are very quick and hard to follow. No doubt this is one of the cutest animals I've ever been blessed to photograph, but as cute as they are, they can be just as viscous if they feel threatened. With its high metabolism, the American Marten is often hunting. Its diet consists primarily of small mammals, including squirrels and rodents. As an opportunistic feeder, they will eat birds, fruit, nuts, insects, and carrion. However, the marten is also an aggressive predator, and can kill the much larger snowshoe hares and marmots. In the wild a Pine Marten's typically live for 8 - 10 years.
