**The musteloid superfamily is a of the same level as the archaic category Arctoidea, a line which is now broken into Ursoidea (bears) and Pinnipedia (seals, sea lions, and walruses) in addition to Musteloidea includes mustelids, raccoons, skunks, and possibly red pandas.
***The mustelid family includes otters, badgers, and weasels, and until recently, was thought to include skunks until they were recategorized within the superfamily.
****The weasel genus includes weasels and similar creatures such as polecats, certain minks, stoats, ermines, and ferrets.
