Description
The yellow throated marten is an Asian species, the largest marten species in the old world with a tail more than half it's body length, Unfortunately I was unable to get a full shot outside and this was behind glass and as a result is 70% post worked to make it even viewable.. almost deleted it as a dead in the water shot... glad I kept it and worked on it as I consider it to be an interesting animal. The yellow throated marten is a fearless animal with no natural predators, it has a strong build and is brightly coloured and can stink to high heaven too but not on a par with the Skunk but shows little fear of human's and dogs and is easily tamed. It's a diurnal hunter and they tend to hunt in pairs or more, and will take small animals like rabbits, pheasants but also musk deer and also likes eggs. There have been a claim that it's capable of taking down a man in large groups of four or more as it's been known to eat corpses too!. The mega zoon is not quite mega but slightly larger.
