Yellow-throated Marten

The yellow-throated marten is a mustelid distinguished from other martens by its contrasting yellow throat and chest. It is an athletic, mainly forest-dwelling predator with keen sight, hearing and smell. Individuals use visual signals, ear position, calls, scent and physical contact, including communication between animals hunting together (Animal Diversity Web).

Its range extends through forested southern and eastern Asia, from the Himalaya north toward the Korean Peninsula and Russian border and south through mainland Southeast Asia to the Malay Peninsula and parts of the Sunda Shelf. It uses several forest types and is capable in trees as well as on the ground (Animal Diversity Web). It is Nationally Near Threatened (Thailand Red Data 2025).
