A mephitid is a mustelid.
(i.e., weasels and skunks are part of the same family.) |
Apparently the current view has them as separate families. The older I get, the more the taxonomists change everything I used to know. |
Oh, like when they arbitrarily decided that fungi should be a separate kingdom rather than a subset of plants? And that just because their DNA, cells, and method of digestion have a closer resemblance to animal than to plant. |
This is what happens when you let your system of knowledge be guided by evidence.
