The martens constitute the genus Martes within the subfamily Guloninae, in the family Mustelidae. Martens are slender, agile animals, adapted to living in taigas, and are found in coniferous and northern deciduous forests across the Northern Hemisphere. They have bushy tails and large paws with partially retractable claws. The fur varies from yellowish to dark brown, depending on the species, and, in many cases, is valued by fur trappers.
