I grew up an Irish Pine Marten myself, same as my parents. I've watched a lot of videos about Irish Pine Martens on UA-cam, but none captures the essence of my youth quite like this one. I applaud the realism. A lot of these videos, using the same stock footage we've all seen a million times.... you wonder if the presenter has even met a Pine Marten, let alone an Irish Pine Marten, like myself. Bravo PBS for real journalism, this is why we need to support public funding of the arts.

Is this like a ferret?

[@StopWars420]

Yes, they're both mustelids.

[@marymactavish]

They're related, along with minks and weasels, and further, to bigger mustelids like otters, badgers, skunks, even wolverines.

[@user-go4nh9lo1g]

Wish they would stay in a tree house. I have big mamma and her kittens in my attic in my home in slieve blooms. She makes a big mess with pooh and sooner she moves out the better.

[@BarbaraGallo-bl3ti]

We have a problem with raccoons. They’re so cute and so annoying.

Please leave the Irish Prime Minister out of your silly story.
