The yellow-throated marten is found in Southeast Asia; in the USSR it occurs in the Far East. The mammal, a forest inhabitant, is an agile tree climber. It feeds mainly on rodents and birds but also attacks small ungulates, including musk deer. The yellow-throated marten has no commercial significance. It often preys upon useful animals, including commercially valuable ones.
