Mydaus javanensis (Desmarest, 1820) |
The Javan Stink Badger (Mydaus javanensis, also called the Teledu, Malay Stink Badger and Indonesian Stink Badger) is a member of the badger family endemic to Java. There is strong DNA evidence that the genus Mydaus is not a member of the badger group at all, but are in fact Old World counterparts of the skunks.
