The Sunda stink badger (Mydaus javanensis, also called the Javan stink badger, teledu, Malay stink badger and Indonesian stink badger) is a mammal of Southeast Asia. There is strong DNA evidence that the genus Mydaus is not a member of the badger family at all, but are in fact Old World relatives of the skunks. There are two known subspecies.
