Rogue Marten Causes Carnage Inside German Supermarket

A marten caused havoc inside a supermarket in southwest Germany on the morning of December 17, knocking over glass drink bottles that smashed on the floor and scurrying across a wall sign as staff tried to chase it out. According to the witness who captured this footage, the marten was found inside the store as employees arrived for work. "After I stopped recording, I stayed there for a little bit, but the marten kept running away," they said. "I was told they opened the big front door and tried to get the marten to run out of the store by himself, which he eventually did," they added. Stone martens are not uncommon in urban areas of Germany, and have been known to cause damage to cars, tear apart garages, and break into chicken coups, according to https://www.wsj.com/articles/they-go-absolutely-insane-and-tear-everything-apart-weasels-love-german-cars-11577377251#:~:text=BERLIN%E2%80%94Ever%20wondered%20what%20kind,on%20plastic%20hoses%20and%20tubes reports .
