I wonder if they ever did any genetics research on these guys... Because I got this sneaking suspicion that Vormela (Marbled Polecats), Ictonyx (Zorilla's), Poecilogale (Striped weasels) and maybe Galictis (Grisons) might actually be part of the skunk family, rather then ferrets.
These guys certainly look skunk-like, do similar warning dances, and I've heard they can spray like skunks even.
If not of course, especially their close relatives the zorilla's would be one hell of an example of convergent evolution. (Which is cool in it's own right.)
