The correct English translation for that animal is marten

In Europe, they're not only a nuisance regarding damaging cars by chewing on rubber parts: Last weekend, one of them managed to interrupt a Swiss premier league soccer/football game. See video:

The first player in white who caught it got seriously bitten in the finger. The marten managed to escape again, the goalkeeper who caught it again later was much better protected thanks to his gloves.

One of the best marten protections for cars is... an enclosed garage.
