I'm not sure of the accuracy of the article, but I know the UK people will like this at least. First-ever images of pine marten living on North York Moors "The first-ever images of a pine marten living in Yorkshire have been captured.

"The last confirmed pine marten record in Yorkshire was in 1993 when a skull was recovered. Since then, there have been a number of elusive sightings and reports of pine marten in the forests in Yorkshire.
