Pine Marten scat. JH; inset, ED.

Pine Marten tracks are similar to those of Beech Marten, but since Pine Martens have more hair on their feet, the prints in snow may appear larger and more blurred. The tracks might also resemble those of hares, though a marten’s tracks are often located right below or very close to a tree; the marten also has five toes on each foot, whereas hares have only four.

The front footprint, not including the heel, is 3.5–5 cm long and about 3.5 cm wide. The hind footprint is somewhat smaller, 3–3.5 cm long and about 3 cm wide.

Like most martens, Pine Marten jump-walks, and the length between front and hind foot is 50–80 cm.
