pine marten :-)

Fierce little cat-sized mustelids (members of the weasel family) who rest in trees during the day and hunt small mammals at dusk and nighttime. They are great climbers and usually make dens in tree cavities for raising their kits, but have also been known to use squirrel dreys and birds’ nests. If they fall from a tree they can twist in midair like a cat to land on their feet!

England Put 35 Pine Martens In Forest of Dean — 2 Years Later, Grey Squirrels Face the Unthinkable

Basically, grey squirrels aren't native to the land and they outcompete the native red squirrels. Fortunately, pine martens eat the the grey squirrels and leave the red ones alone. Yay.

Between 2019 and 2021, a team from the Gloucestershire Wildlife Trust trapped 35 wild pine martens in the Scottish Highlands, fitted each one with a radio collar, drove them 600 miles south, and released them into the Forest of Dean, an ancient woodland on the English-Welsh border that had not seen a pine marten in over 160 years. The animals were elusive, nocturnal, and roughly the size of a house cat. Most people in the surrounding communities never saw one. But something in the forest started changing almost immediately.

The Weasels is an English rock band formed in Manchester, in 1990. They released their first album in the same year they formed their band. Since 1990, the band has consisted of Patty Pierce (keyboard, backing vocals), Ollie Oakley (drums and bass), Ringo Ripley (lead vocals, guitar, keyboard), and Benny Buxton (bass guitar, backing vocals, keyboard).Unlike most bands, this is the only band formed by animals, mainly animals from the Mustelidae family.
