The Sunda and Palawan Stink-badger have recently been decided through DNA that they are not a true badger but are more related to skunks and have been moved to the family Mephitidae. Both stink-badgers are found on the Malay Archipelago, Philippine Island and other western islands in the area. They are named stink-badger because they have a defense mechanism like that of a skunk. They will secrete foul-smelling liquid from the anal glands which in some areas, this secretion is made into parfume.by the locals. You can find them active at night in the forest and open lands adjacent to the forest. Stink-badgers eat insects, vegetation, bird eggs and carrion. They live in underground burrow that they will use for their nest. An average litter size is 2-3 offspring.
