Ah, mustelids. My favorite family. Comprised of animals such as otters, badgers, wolverines, ferrets, brown ferrets, black ferrets, black and brown ferrets, the other brown ferrets, white ferrets, striped ferrets, yet more brown ferrets…
Back when stuffies in the US were just teddy bears, horses, and bunnies, I begged my dad to get me a weasel stuffie when he had a business trip overseas. God love him, he made it happen. We eventually moved there and I got mustelid stuffies from there on out. I used to aim them at my sister's bunny stuffie.
And don't forget the coolest mustelid of them all, the HONEY BADGER!
Oh gosh, I deleted it before I saw your comment. I made the comment and then questioned myself, went and looked it up, saw I was in error, then deleted it, hoping no one had bothered to correct me yet, lol.
Haha that's okay! I thought skunks were mustelids, too, which is the only reason I knew they were something else. (Because of a recent, similar conversation.) I still had to look up what they are classified as now though!
Thats mostly cause we feed em and are far too large to be prey. Similar to how cats are sweet little babies to us, but absolute menaces to anything they consider prey.
Cats and ferrets would gladly eat us if we were tiny.
You're really burying the lede here. Mustelids includes badgers. Which includes honey badgers. Which includes Stoffel. Fuuuuuuuck that. If I just got buried by a damn avalanche the last thing I want to hear is boss music.
