Ferret-badger

Ferret-badgers are the six species of the genus Melogale, which is the only genus of the monotypic mustelid subfamily Helictidinae.


 * Bornean ferret-badger (Melogale everetti)
 * Chinese ferret-badger (Melogale moschata)
 * Formosan ferret-badger (Melogale subaurantiaca)
 * Javan ferret-badger (Melogale orientalis)
 * Burmese ferret-badger (Melogale personata)
 * Vietnam ferret-badger (Melogale cucphuongensis)

Human impact
The ferret-badger's impact on humans is through the spread of rabies. This has been documented in Taiwan and China but lack of prior documentation and research on ferret-badgers has proven a roadblock.
