The yellow-throated marten, Martes flavigula, is a marten native to the Himalayas, Southeast Asia and East Asia. Its coat is bright yellow-golden, with a head and back that are distinctly darker, blending black, white, golden-yellow and brown. After the Nilgiri marten it is the second-largest marten in the Old World, and its tail makes up more than half of its body length. It is an omnivore whose food ranges from fruit and nectar to invertebrates, rodents, hares and rabbits, reptiles and birds, and even small primates and hoofed animals. It is a diurnal hunter that usually hunts in pairs, and sometimes in packs of three or more. The IUCN rates it Least Concern because of its wide distribution, stable population, presence in protected areas and an apparent lack of threats.
