Why are stink badgers included

They are literally badgers only in name. They are skunks in every other regard. I don't think anyone considers them to actually be a badger. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 70.127.128.19 (talk) 12:05, 25 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Agreed. the stink badger article notes that DNA work in the 1990s found them more closely related to skunks and moved both out of Mustelidae and into a new family, Mephitidae.

German translation

German Article would be the one about "Dachse". Going from that article to its English equivalent "Melinae" redirects to here too. 195.176.112.76 (talk) 08:05, 23 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]
