  • The European Pine Marten is a small carnivore from the Mustelid family.
  • It preys more on grey squirrel (not native to Britain and Ireland) than the native red squirrel.
  • Pine martens raid the nests of grey squirrels called dreys.
  • The marten prefers grey squirrels as they are larger and thus a richer food source.
  • Red squirrels have evolved to live alongside martens.
  • IUCN status: Least Concern
