I Spy a Pine Marten II The pine marten can be found in midair above the sow grizzly. I think after realizing the danger he was in, a leap for safety was his best option! I had no idea I got this shot until I looked through my photos moments later. Pretty lucky if you ask me! Taken near Fishing Bridge, YNP.

The American marten or American pine marten is a North American member of the family Mustelidae, sometimes referred to as the pine marten. The name "pine marten" is derived from the common but distinct Eurasian species of ''Martes''. It differs from the fisher in that it is smaller in size and lighter in colour.
