Default Name the Animal_ what are these?

Hello everyone.

Trying to figure out what's living under the shed. Anyone know what type of creature this is. From what I've seen there's around 3 younsters running around and they frequentually are playing in the trees. Haven't seen mamma or caught her on cams yet. Thanks and look forward to your thoughts!

Looks like an African wild dog.

I don't think they climb trees tho.

My intial thoughts aswell, the logs are 8" thick cants, im assuming they have there offspring come spring, but figured they are rather large (assuming there born in spring with and are typically around foot length). Either way good to see if Pine Marten is the general consensus of species. Thanks for the advice!
