Palawan Stink Badger

The Palawan stink badger, also called the Calamian stink badger, is found only on the islands of Palawan and the nearby Calamian group in the Philippines. It is a squat, short-legged, badger-like member of the skunk family with a thick coat of dark fur and a white cap on its head, and it forages on the ground at night for earthworms, insects, and small invertebrates. Confined to a small island range that is increasingly cleared for agriculture, it is considered vulnerable to further decline.
