The yellow-throated marten is a sleek carnivore found across Asia, from the Himalayan forests to Southeast Asia. It stands out with its striking golden-yellow throat and a dark, multicolored back. This agile climber is one of the larger martens, with a tail longer than its body.

  • Its fur mixes black, white, golden-yellow, and brown in a striking pattern.
  • The tail is longer than the rest of its body.
  • Only the Nilgiri marten is bigger among Old World martens.
