*SKUNKS*
*aka ‘mephitidae’*

.

*PROCYONIDAE*
(“raccoons”)

.

*MUSTELIDAE*
(“weasels”)

.

“AILURIDAE”
(“red pandas”)

.

(‘musteloidea’ is a ‘super-family’ of ‘carnivoran mammals’ united by shared characters of the ‘skull’ + ‘teeth’)

.

(‘musteloids’ share a ‘common ancestor’ with the ‘pinnipeds’)
(‘pinnipeds’ is group which includes ‘seals’)

.

(the ‘musteloidea super-family’ consists of 4 ‘families’…)

‘ailuridae’
(red pandas)

.

‘mustelidae’
(‘mustelids’)

(‘weasels’ / ‘otters’ / ‘martens’ / ‘badgers’)

.

‘procyonidae’
(‘procyonids’)

(‘raccoons’ / ‘coatis’ / ‘kinkajous’ / ‘olingos’ / ‘olinguitos’ / ‘ringtails’ / ‘cacomistles’)

.

‘mephitidae’
(‘skunks’)

.

.

(in ‘north america’, ‘ursoids’ + ‘musteloids’ first appear in the chadronian (‘late eocene’))

.

In Europe, ursoids and musteloids first appear in the early Oligocene immediately following the Grande Coupure.

.

(the superfamily “musteloidea” may not be a ‘mono-phyletic group’)

.

(‘some’ (or ‘all’) of the ‘diagnostic characters’ could have evolved into 2 or more independent radiations from ‘primitive ursoids’ such as amphicynodon)
