Sable \Sa"ble\, n. [OF. sable, F. zibeline sable (in sense 4),
LL. sabellum; cf. D. sabel, Dan. sabel, zobel, Sw. sabel,
sobel, G. zobel; all fr. Russ. s['o]bole.]

(Mustela zibellina) native of the northern latitudes of
Europe, Asia, and America, -- noted for its fine, soft,
and valuable fur.
[1913 Webster]
Note: The sable resembles the marten, but has a longer head
and ears. Its fur consists of a soft under wool, with a
dense coat of hair, overtopped by another still longer.
It varies greatly in color and quality according to the
locality and the season of the year. The darkest and
most valuable furs are taken in autumn and winter in
the colder parts of Siberia, Russia, and British North
America.
[1913 Webster]
Note: The American sable, or marten, was formerly considered
a distinct species (Mustela Americana), but it
differs very little from the Asiatic sable, and is now
considered only a geographical variety.
