The sable is a small, carnivorous mammal belonging to the family Mustelidae, which also includes weasels, otters, and ferrets. Sables are native to forests in Siberia, Russia, and parts of Asia. They have a sleek body with thick fur, typically dark brown to black in color, which is highly valued for its softness and durability. Sables are skilled hunters and primarily feed on small mammals, birds, and insects. Due to habitat loss and hunting for their fur, sable populations have declined in some areas, leading to conservation concerns. 

Sables are semi-aquatic mustelids with thick fur and a musky odor.  Due to their complex needs and potential aggression, they are not recommended as pets.  They require a large enclosure with a pool, a temperature-controlled environment (around 41-59°F), and a diet rich in meat, fish, and insects.  Sable ownership is illegal in many areas due to concerns about proper care and potential escape.
