Genus of carnivores

Stink badgers[1] Sunda stink badger (M. javanensis) and Palawan stink badger (M. marchei) Scientific classification Kingdom: Animalia Phylum: Chordata Class: Mammalia Infraclass: Placentalia Order: Carnivora Family: Mephitidae Genus: Mydaus Cuvier, 1821[2] Type species Mydaus meliceps[3] Species M. marchei M. javanensis Mydaus ranges

*Mydaus javanensis*

**Stink badgers** or **false badgers** are the species of the [genus](/source/Genus) ***Mydaus*** of the skunk family of [carnivorans](/source/Carnivoran), the [Mephitidae](/source/Mephitidae). They resemble the better-known members of the family [Mustelidae](/source/Mustelidae) also termed '[badgers](/source/Badger)' (which are themselves a [polyphyletic](/source/Polyphyletic) group). There are only two extant species – the [Palawan stink badger](/source/Palawan_stink_badger) or *pantot* (*M. marchei*), and the [Sunda stink badger](/source/Sunda_stink_badger) or *teledu* (*M. javanensis*). They live west of the [Wallace Line](/source/Wallace_Line); the Sunda species on islands of the [Greater Sunda Islands](/source/Greater_Sunda_Islands), being [Sumatra](/source/Sumatra), [Java](/source/Java), and [Borneo](/source/Borneo); in Borneo the badger is found in [Indonesia](/source/Indonesia), [Malaysia](/source/Malaysia) and [Brunei](/source/Brunei). The Palawan species lives in the [Philippine island](/source/Philippines) of [Palawan](/source/Palawan_(island)) as well as the islands surrounding it.

Stink badgers are named for their resemblance to other badgers and for the foul-smelling secretions that they expel from anal glands in self-defense (which is stronger in the Sunda species).[4]

Stink badgers were traditionally thought to be related to Eurasian [badgers](/source/Badger) in the [subfamily](/source/Subfamily) [Melinae](/source/Melinae) of the weasel family of [carnivorans](/source/Carnivoran) (the [Mustelidae](/source/Mustelidae)), but recent [DNA](/source/DNA) analysis indicates they share a more recent common ancestor with [skunks](/source/Skunk), so experts have now placed them in the skunk family[4][5] (the [Mephitidae](/source/Mephitidae), which is the [sister group](/source/Sister_group) of a [clade](/source/Clade) composed of Mustelidae and [Procyonidae](/source/Procyonidae), with the [red panda](/source/Red_panda) also assigned to one of the sister clades[6]). The two existing species are different enough from each other for the Palawan stink badger to be sometimes classified in its own genus, *Suillotaxus*.[4]
