Mephitidae is a family of mammals comprising the skunks and stink badgers . They are noted for the great development of their anal scent glands , which they use to deter predators. Skunks were formerly classified as a subfamily of the Mustelidae (the weasel family); however, in the 1990s, genetic evidence caused skunks to be treated as a separate family.[1] retroposon markers indicated that they are most closely related to the Ailuridae (red pandas and allies) and Procyonidae (raccoons and allies)[citation needed .
There are twelve extant species of mephitids in four genera : Conepatus hog-nosed skunks , four species); Mephitis hooded and striped skunks , two species); Mydaus Spilogale spotted skunks , four species). The two stink badgers in the genus Mydaus inhabit Indonesia , Brunei , Malaysia and the Philippines ; the other members of the family inhabit the Americas, ranging from Canada to central South America. All other mephitids are extinct, known through fossils, including those from Eurasia .[2] [3] [4]
In taxonomic order, the living species of Mephitidae are:[5]
