Amtrak’s Best Mustelid Poll

I’m sorry to report that due to DNA analysis, skunks are now classified as mephitids and are no longer members of the mustilid family. That’s okay because honey badger is.

[Live Amtrak poll found here. More mustilid stuff here.]

BONUS: This is what a skunk sounds like.

    Except I’ve heard Americans refer to polecats.
    Maybe it’s just slang.

      I’ve heard Americans refer to bison as buffalo, ravens as crows, opossums as possums, etc. Happens.
