Martens wandering around a neighborhood in Samsun's İlkadım district at night draw attention. The moments when the martens were searching for food were recorded moment by moment.

Every midnight, martens descend on Kadifekale Neighborhood in Samsun's İlkadım district.

THEIR NUMBERS ARE INCREASING

While it was previously reported that only one marten was seen, it is now stated that the number has increased to two. The martens, searching for food at night, were captured by a mobile phone camera. Almost every evening after 10:00 PM, two martens are seen searching for food on the streets, occasionally confronting cats in the neighborhood. Disappearing quickly as soon as they notice people, the martens wander the streets for a while before leaving the area.
