- North American mammals web site, via Smithsonian Institution National Museum of Natural History home page, Feb. 4, 2004(Mephitidae. Skunks have only recently become recognized as a separate mammal family. In the past, they were usually classified with weasels and these two families - Mustelidae and Mephitidae - are surely closely related.)
