Martes zibellina (Sable)

Synonyms: Zibellina zibellina (homotypic)

Wikipedia Abstract

The sable (Martes zibellina) is a small carnivorous mammal, a species of marten. It inhabits forest environments, primarily in Russia from the Ural Mountains throughout Siberia, eastern Kazakhstan, northern Mongolia, China, North and South Korea and Hokkaidō in Japan. Its range in the wild originally extended through European Russia to Poland and Scandinavia. It has historically been hunted for its highly valued dark brown or black fur, which remains a luxury good to this day. While hunting of wild animals is still common in Russia, most fur in the market is now commercially farmed.
