The Palawan stink badger is a small mammal from the skunk family. It lives only on Palawan Island and defends itself from enemies with a caustic liquid with a strong odor.
The Palawan stink badger differs from common badgers with its strong odor and relation to skunks. It helps the forest by eating insects and loosening the soil.
