In Genting Highland Dennis, Leong and gang bump into a family of 3 Marten crossing the road. We were still in the car when I shouted Civet Cat. Den replied Ferret la By the time we were out from the car they were long gone. Luckily the juvenile did not dare to cross and expecting its parent escort. About a minute wait the male did return to the other side and both suddenly rush back over to our signing ............missed chance. This was my better shot of the Juvi.
Description: The yellow-throated marten is also known as the kharza, and is the largest marten in the Old World, with the tail making up more than half its length. Its fur is brightly colored, consisting of a unique blend of black, white, golden-yellow and brown.mIt is a omnivore whose sources of food range from fruit and nectar to small deer. The yellow-throated marten is a fearless animal with few natural predators, because of its powerful build, its bright coloration and unpleasant odor. It shows little fear of humans or dogs, and is easily tamed.
My other consolation was the migrant Common Buzzard in the misty condition there. This was the best that I can get before it flew away.
