Yes, at least where I am from martens are distinguished pretty clearly (at least as much as something like a wolverine). I guess I took the title to mean to weasel as a superclass, of which martens are a subtype (along with regular generic weasels). In some areas of the US people probably aren't familiar with martens, but would be familiar with weasels.
I'm confused by the noisemakers though?
- leonry 5y agoOh, I understand. Thanks for the explanation. Regarding noisemakers, I should rather say noise making devices, I guess. Here is a company promoting theirs (quick Google search): https://mardersicher.com/marderschreck-mardersicher-ms-12v-mobil/ https://mardersicher.com/marderschreck-mardersicher-ms-12v-m... Googling for an example, I just discovered that the German Wikipedia has an extensive article (https://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Marderabwehr https://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Marderabwehr) on defense mechanisms! The devices are supposed to only emit ultrasound. In practice, most don't.
- derbOac 5y agoYeah you can buy similar things in the US for various animals, although they're usually to keep animals out of your home or spaces like under a deck. I'm having trouble imagining them being frequent (and audible) enough to hear out on a walk though. Seems like an issue.
