Russian Sable Hunting

The Russian sable, also known as the sable, is a small mammal belonging to the weasel family (Mustelidae). It is native to the forests of Siberia, particularly in Russia, and is prized for its luxurious fur, which is thick, soft, and highly valued in the fur trade. Sables have a slender body, short legs, and a bushy tail. Their fur color varies from dark brown to a lighter shade, with a distinctive silky texture. They are primarily nocturnal and are known for being solitary animals, feeding on small mammals, birds, insects, and berries. The sable is also an important cultural symbol in Russia, often associated with wealth and status.
