The yellow-throated marten (Martes flavigula) is a marten species native to the Himalayas, Southeast and East Asia. Its coat is bright yellow-golden, and its head and back are distinctly darker, blending together black, white, golden-yellow and brown. It is the second-largest marten in the Old World, after the Nilgiri marten, with its tail making up more than half its body length.
It is an omnivore, whose sources of food range from fruit and nectar to invertebrates, rodents, lagomorphs, reptiles and birds, and to small primates and ungulates. It is listed as least concern on the IUCN Red List due to its wide distribution, stable population, occurrence in a number of protected areas and an apparent lack of threats.
The yellow-throated marten has short bright brownish-yellow fur, a blackish brown pointed head, reddish cheeks, light brown chin and lower lips; the chest and lower part of the throat are orange-golden, and flanks and belly are bright yellowish.

Possible
About 20% of wildlife watchers report a Yellow-throated Marten sighting in Jim Corbett National Park on a given day, based on 19 verified sightings from GBIF citizen-science data from 2019 to 2026. It is the 11th most-seen of the 12 mammals we can rate there. Over three days the chance rises to about 50%, and over a week to about 80%, if each day is a fresh chance.
May and October–November
In those months about 30% of wildlife watchers report a Yellow-throated Marten in Jim Corbett National Park on a given day, against under 5% in March–April and July–September, the lowest months. Those are among Jim Corbett National Park's driest months, with about 35 mm of rain a month against 360 mm in July.
Between 7 and 10 am
Across all the parks we cover, that three-hour window holds the most Yellow-throated Marten sightings with a recorded time, and about 6 in 10 of them come between 6 am and 6 pm: it is most active around dawn and dusk.
Among the best
Of the 3 parks where we can rate Yellow-throated Marten sightings, Jim Corbett National Park ranks 2nd at about 20%, level with the leaders once rounded. The best odds are in Taroko National Park (Taiwan, about 20%).
Same order: Carnivora
The closest relatives of the Yellow-throated Marten that you can see in Jim Corbett National Park (order Carnivora, Carnivorans) are Tiger (about 60%) and Asian Jackal (about 50%), with each one's daily chance of a sighting.
GBIF citizen-science records
It is estimated from how often the Yellow-throated Marten is recorded against all the mammals logged in Jim Corbett National Park (19 verified sightings from 2019 to 2026), calibrated against known sighting rates. Figures are rounded to the nearest 10% because citizen-science data supports honest approximations, not decimals, and months with records from fewer than five people show "—". How it works.
