european pine marten
the beech marten is superficially similar to the pine marten, but has a somewhat longer tail, a more elongated and angular head and has shorter, more rounded and widely spaced ears. its nose is also of a light peach or grey colour, whereas that of the pine marten is dark black or greyish-black. its feet are not as densely furred as those of the pine marten, thus making them look less broad, with the paw pads remaining visible even in winter. because of its shorter limbs, the beech marten's manner of locomotion differs from that of the pine marten; the beech marten moves by creeping in a polecat-like manner, whereas the pine marten and sable move by bounds. the weight load per 1 cm of the supporting surface of the beech marten's foot (30.9 gm) is double that of the pine marten (15.2 gm), thus it is obliged to avoid snowy regions.
