Best Answer

Groundhogs and skunks are in different families. Groundhogs are in the Marmota genus, the Sciuridae family, and the Rodentia order. Skunks are in the family Mephitidae, the superfamily Musteloidea, the suborder Caniformia, and the order Carnivora. Although groundhogs and skunks are both mammals, they are only distantly related : )
