Grizzled badger (North American badger) (grasslands; can be found in marshes, open forests, and mountain meadows; lives in west) (mostly carnivorous; will eat honey and plants)
Badger (European badger) (woodlands; clearings; alpine; lives in east) (amongst least carnivorous carnivorans; eats earthworms, insects, cereals, carrion, fruits, small mammals, and greens)
Marten (American marten) (northern coniferous forests; favors the west) (predatory)
White-breasted marten (open forest and heavily forested areas; lives in the east) (tons of fruits as well as vegetables and rodents, also raids bird nests)
Pine marten (European pine marten) (well-wooded areas) (berries, eggs, meat, nuts, honey)
Fisher (thick forests, avoids open areas; prefers areas with less snow; mainly inhabits northern forests) (primarily eats hares and porcupine; also scavenges larger prey left by other predators; eats small mammals, mushrooms, nuts, berries, and insects)
Sable (dense coniferous forests, can be found in other forests; favors the northeast) (rodents, berries, birds)
Mountain Weasel (mountains; alpine environments; lives at high altitudes only and is found in the east)

Marbled polecat (southeastern-most forests; steppes; avoids mountains) (mainly eats rodents, small hares, birds, lizards, fish, amphibians, fruit, and grass)
Greater mink (American Mink) (semiaquatic; inhabits river banks and lakes, rarely found far from fresh water; very widespread species) (carnivorous; eats small mammals [esp. water vole], birds, amphibians, mollusks, fish, and crabs)
Lesser mink (European mink) (more rare species, being found primarily in only northeastern forests, where the greater mink is absent) (similar diet to greater mink though is a less efficient water hunter; most important food source is vole)
