What is a skunk's relative called?
Skunks are mammals best known for their ability to secrete a liquid with a strong, foul odor. General appearance ranges from species to species, from black-and-white to brown or cream colored. Skunks belong to the family Mephitidae[1][2] and to the order Carnivora. There are 10 species of skunks, which are divided into four genera: Mephitis (hooded and striped skunks, two species), Spilogale (spotted skunks, two species), Mydaus (stink badgers, two species), and Conepatus (hog-nosed skunks, four species). The two skunk species in the Mydaus genus inhabit Indonesia and the Philippines; all other skunks inhabit the Americas from Canada to central South America.Skunks had been classified as a subfamily within the family Mustelidae, which includes ferrets, weasels, otters and badgers. However, recent genetic evidence suggests that the skunks are not as closely related to the mustelids as previously thought; they are now classified in their own family.[2]-angelle

Why is there no skunks in Newfoundland?
Skunks are not native to Newfoundland primarily due to geographical barriers and climate. The island's isolation and harsh winter conditions make it less hospitable for skunks, which prefer warmer environments. Additionally, skunks are not known to have naturally migrated to Newfoundland, and there have been no successful introductions of the species to the region. Consequently, the absence of skunks is a result of these ecological and environmental factors.
Do albino skunks exist?
