Abstract
We napped three adult Eurasian Pine Martens (Martes martes) at an earlier t rapped-our Eurasian Beaver (Castor fiber) lodge in southern Norway. At anot her site, Pine Marten feces containing remains of beaver claws and hair wer e found outside a beaver lodge. Pine Martens apparently feed on beavers and use their abandoned lodges as resting sites.
