Stone Marten (Martes foina)
Also known as a beech marten, this animal is found from Spain to Mongolia. They are nocturnal and humans rarely see them because of it.

Yellow Throated Marten (Martes flavigula)
The yellow throated marten, also known as the Indian marten, lives in Asia. It's diet consists mainly of squirrels and mice, although it does sometimes attack larger prey.
Those are the martens, although there is one called the Nilgiri Marten (Martes gwatkinsi) that I couldn't find a picture of. I'll be back with more mustelids.
