Mydaus javanensis
The Sunda stink badger is a small mammal from the skunk family. It lives in the forests of Southeast Asia and defends itself from enemies with a strong-smelling liquid released from special glands.
The Sunda stink badger differs from true badgers in its strong odor and skull structure. It helps nature by eating harmful insects and participating in the nutrient cycle in forest soil.
