Two species of martens are common in Poland, that is the pine marten and the domestic marten. The first of them lives mainly in forests, the second chooses the vicinity of human habitation. These animals are great tree climbers. In this case, the pine marten has a better developed skill, and is able to jump between branches even at a distance of 3.5 m. Both species have well-developed senses, are agile and fast. They feed on rodents, carcasses, plants, birds and their eggs. They lead a nocturnal lifestyle, and individuals living close to humans can do a lot of damage. We are talking about gnawed wires in cars or damage in attics.
