"The family Mustelidae contains a variety of animals unmatched by any other family in the Carnivora except the civets (Viverridae). The family includes the weasels, ferrets, mink (see photograph ), marten, fisher, skunks (see photograph ), wolverine (see photograph ), otters (see photograph ), badgers (see photograph ), and a number of less well-known animals, a total of about 70 species in 25 genera. " (emphasis mine)
Yet the Britannaic article indicated that the skunk is part of the Mustelidae. And it's also part of the civet group? That's where I'm lost. Is a skunk not part of the civet group?
I'm confused.
One thing, fersure: That binturong looks like a weasel!
