Best Answer

Skunks had been classified as a subfamily within the family Mustelidae, which includes Ferret, Weasel, Otterand Badger. However, recent Geneticsevidence suggests that the skunks are not as closely related to the mustelids as previously thought; they are now classified in their own family. I still believe that they walk, act, and appear to have a cousin relationship to ferrets.

No. Skunks are in the family Mephitidae. Squirrels are in the family Sciuridae.
