Sable is a term used to refer to martens, though in the U.S. people often think of it in terms of mink fur. Look up Martes (taxonomic genus) in Google Images and you will find the critter. It looked like Martes martes to me when I saw the video, but if the gent accurately called it a "sable" then that apparently is used to refer BOTH to a marten species from north-eastern Europe and another from the U.S., and we all know that my eyes are not what they once were so it could easily not be M. martes... (It is clearly a marten, though.)
