Palawan stink badgers have many of the same fossorial adaptations as other members of its family (Mustelidae): short, muscular limbs and forepaws equipped with long claws. It is small and stocky with a short tail and pointed snout. Its fur is dark brown overall, with a light yellow patch on the top of the head that fades down to the shoulders in a stripe. There is evidence that paler brown morphs of M. marchei may also occur.
It does not appear that Palawan stink badgers are sexually dimorphic. These animals are from 320 to 460 mm in length, and average 2.5 kg.(Nowak, 1999)
Average mass: 2.5 kg.
Range length: 320 to 460 mm.
Other Physical Features: endothermic ; bilateral symmetry
As the common name suggests, Palawan stink badgers have the ability to secrete a pungent-smelling, oily fluid. The fluid is squirted from anal glands, much like skunks. The Indonesian stink badger (M. javanensis) has an extremely harsh secretion that is described as "nauseating" and is greenish in color. In comparison, the yellowish secretion of M. marchei is relatively mild.
The use of these anal glands seems to be a secondary line of defense. When first threatened, Palawan stink badgers will "play dead" and even allow themselves to be picked up and moved. (Nowak 1999; Neal and Cheeseman 1996)
As is the case with many mustelids bearing white stripes and other markings, the pelage coloration may be aposematic--a warning to other animals to leave this creature alone.
Known Predators:
Very little is known about the life history of Mydaus marchei. It has been poorly studied, unlike other members of its family, and remains "shrouded in mystery." In fact, there is a dispute concerning the basic phylogeny of this species, and the other stink badger M javanensis. Due to dental characteristics, similar primitive conditions of the brain, and a similar mode of defense, some researchers believe stink badgers may be more closley related to the skunks, rather than other badgers.
As it stands, the classification for the stink badgers is a bit unusual.They are placed in their own subgenus, which is very rare. The Indonesian stink badger, M. javanensis belongs to the subgenus Mydaus. In contrast, the Palawan stink badger belongs to the subgenus Suillotaxus (Suillotaxus is the former generic name for M. marchei).(Radinsky 1973; Parker 1990)
Most badgers have a highly developed sense of smell, and Palawan stink badgers are no exception. M. marchei uses the secretions from its anal glands to leave scent marks on the surrounding environment. These marks probably serve as reservoirs of information for conspecifics and help define territories. (Nowak, 1999)
Communication Channels: chemical
Other Communication Modes: scent marks
Perception Channels: tactile ; chemical
Although the Palawan stink badger was described as "surprisingly common" in the 1970's, it is now considered a vulnerable species by the IUCN . It is unclear whether loss of habitat is adversely affecting M. marchei populations, but as an endemic species on only two islands with restricted habitat, its conservation is definitely a concern. There does not appear to be any Philippine law protecting the badger, nor is there any conservation work concerning this species being conducted at this time. (Neal and Cheeseman, 1996)
CITES: no special status
IUCN Red List of Threatened Species: least concern
The secretion from the anal glands of M. marchei probably causes mild irritation when it contacts human skin. Otherwise, there are no known reports of adverse interactions between Palawan stink badgers and humans. (Nowak, 1999; Neal and Cheeseman, 1996)
The island of Palawan is well-known for its wide variety of flora and fauna. Ecotourists may be attracted by endemic species such as Palawan stink badgers
Local peoples have been known to use the stink badger as an occasional food source.
(Neal and Cheeseman, 1996)
Positive Impacts: food ; ecotourism
It is difficult to speculate on the role this animals plays in local ecosystems because so little is known about its lifestyle and dietary habits. It likely plays some role in regulating populations of the invertebrates upon which it feeds. This species may aid in aeration of the soil through its foraging behavior, which almost certainly entails rooting and some digging.
Little is known of the feeding habits of M. marchei. It is believed to feed mainly on invertebrates, especially earthworms and insects, which it reaches by digging with its long claws. Stink badgers may consume plant material as well. (Nowak,1999)
Animal Foods: insects; terrestrial non-insect arthropods; terrestrial worms
Primary Diet: carnivore (Insectivore , Vermivore)
Mydaus marchei is restricted to only 2 of the Philippine Islands. It is found on Palawan (hence one of its common names )and Busuanga, both located north and east of Borneo. (Nowak, 1999)
Biogeographic Regions: oriental (Native )
Other Geographic Terms: island endemic
The preferred habitat of Palawan stink badgers appears to be cultivated areas and grassland thickets. These habitats occur on the western and eastern portions of the island of Palawan. No other information regarding typical stink badger habitat is currently available. (Nowak, 1999)
Habitat Regions: tropical
Other Habitat Features: agricultural
No studies regarding the lifespan of either species of stink badger have been conducted. M. meles and A. collaris have lived in captivity 16 and 13 years, respectively. (Nowak, 1999)
The mating system and behavior of M. marchei is not known.
No research on reproductive habits has been conducted for either M. marchei or M. javanensis. Other badgers (Meles meles and Arctonyx collaris) breed annually. They produce litters of two to six young after implantation, pregnancy lasts no more than eight weeks. However, both M. meles and A. collaris can undergo a period of delayed implantation and arrested embryonic development lasting up to 10 months, giving an overall pregnancy length nearing a year (Nowak, 1999)
Breeding season: The breeding season of this species is unknown.
Key Reproductive Features: iteroparous ; gonochoric/gonochoristic/dioecious (sexes separate); sexual ; fertilization (Internal ); viviparous
Details of parental care in this species have not been reported. However, in M. meles and A. collaris~, females provide care for the young in dens or burrows. Lactation may last up to four months, and the period of maternal care may extend beyond this period as the young learn foraging behavior from their mother. No male parental care has been reported in badgers. (Nowak, 1999)
Parental Investment: female parental care

Der Palawan-Stinkdachs (Mydaus marchei) ist eine Art der Hundeartigen aus der Gattung der Stinkdachse. Er ist ein Endemit der zu den Philippinen gehörenden Insel Palawan.
Der Palawan-Stinkdachs erreicht eine Kopf-Rumpf-Länge von 32 bis 46 Zentimetern und eine Schwanzlänge von 1,5 bis 4,5 Zentimetern. Das Gewicht beträgt etwa 2,5 Kilogramm. Er ist damit etwas kleiner als der Sunda-Stinkdachs (Mydaus javanensis) der indonesischen Inseln. Die Behaarung der Oberseite ist schwarzbraun bis schwarz mit einzelnen hellen Haaren ohne durchgehenden Rückenstreifen. Die Schnauze ist rüsselartig verlängert und ähnelt der Schnauze eines Schweins.[1]
Das Verbreitungsgebiet des Palawan-Stinkdachses ist auf die philippinische Inselgruppe Palawan und die Calamian-Inseln beschränkt.[2][3] Die Art ist nachgewiesen auf der Hauptinsel Palawan sowie auf Busuanga und Calauit, während sie nicht auf den kleineren, abgelegenen Inseln wie Rasa und Malinau sowie auf Dumaran vorkommt. Das Vorkommen auf der Insel Iloc ist dagegen unsicher.[2]
Der Palawan-Stinkdachs ist eine der beiden Arten der Stinkdachse (Mydaus) innerhalb der Skunks (Mephitidae). Die wissenschaftliche Erstbeschreibung erfolgte durch Joseph Huet im Jahr 1887.[1] Die Art wurde zeitweise aufgrund anatomischer Merkmale in eine eigene, monotypische Gattung Suillotaxus eingeordnet.[1][4]
Es wird angenommen, dass die Vorfahren dieser Art von der auf Borneo lebenden Population des Sunda-Stinkdachses durch das ansteigende Meeresniveau vor etwa 165.000 Jahren getrennt wurden,[2] Fossilien sind jedoch nicht nachgewiesen.[1]
Der Palawan-Stinkdachs wird von der International Union for Conservation of Nature and Natural Resources (IUCN) als nicht gefährdet (least concern) eingeordnet.[2] Dies wird vor allem mit der großen angenommenen Population, der Unempfindlichkeit gegenüber Lebensraumveränderungen und menschlicher Besiedelung sowie dem Vorkommen in mehreren Schutzgebieten begründet.[2]

The Palawan stink badger (Mydaus marchei), pantot or tuldo in the Batak language, is a carnivoran of the western Philippines named for its resemblance to badgers, its powerful smell, and the largest island to which it is native, Palawan. Like all stink badgers, the Palawan stink badger was once thought to share a more recent common ancestor with badgers than with skunks. Recent genetic evidence, however, has led to their re-classification as one of the Mephitidae, the skunk family of mammals.[3] It is the size of a large skunk or small badger, and uses its badger-like body to dig by night for invertebrates in open areas near patches of brush. While it lacks the whitish dorsal patches typical of its closest relatives, predators and hunters generally avoid the powerful noxious chemicals it can spray from the specialized anal glands characteristic of mephitids.
Although smaller than true badgers, the Palawan stink badger is one of the larger members of the skunk family, the Mephitidae. Adults measure 32 to 46 cm (13 to 18 in) in length, about the same size as the striped skunk native to North America, and weigh anything from 0.85 to 2.5 kg (1.9 to 5.5 lb). In physical appearance, however, they more closely resemble badgers than skunks. They have a pointed snout with a mobile nose, and a stocky body with short and powerful limbs bearing sharply recurved claws. The tail is very short in comparison to the body, measuring only 1.5 to 4.5 cm (0.59 to 1.77 in), and lacking the bushy fur of many skunks. The ears are almost invisible, with only vestigial pinnae, and the eyes are also relatively small.[4]
The fur is dark brown to black over most of the body, fading to a more brownish colour on the underparts. There are also scattered white hairs across the back and over the forehead, but not the white stripe and head-patch found on the closely related Sunda stink badger. Compared with its sister species, the Palawan stink badger is also slightly smaller, with larger teeth and longer fur. Females have six teats.[4]
Palawan stink badgers live on the Philippine island of Palawan, and also on the neighbouring islands of Busuanga and Calauit.[1] They live primarily in the grasslands and cultivated areas on these islands, and use local shrubs for shelter.[5]
The Palawan stink badger was described as "surprisingly common" in the 1970's, however, it is now considered a vulnerable species by the IUCN. It is unclear whether loss of habitat is adversely affecting M. marchei populations, but, being an endemic species that only inhabits two islands, its conservation is of concern. At this time, there does not appear to be any Philippine law protecting the creature, nor is there any conservation work concerning this species being conducted at this time.[6]
Palawan stink badgers are nocturnal, and feed mainly on invertebrates, such as freshwater crabs and small insects, which they dig out of the ground with their long claws. They are good diggers, and may spend the day in excavated dens. They may travel up to 2 km (1.2 mi) in search of food, and are reported to mark their territory with scent.[5] They are slow moving, and not particularly aggressive, either freezing or emitting a warning snarl when threatened.[7]
Like skunks, Palawan stink badgers possess anal scent glands that emit a pungent yellowish liquid. They are able to spray the liquid up to a metre,[7] and the scent is said to be strong enough to be smelled up to a mile away.[5] The stink badgers rely almost entirely on this powerful odour for their defence, and are among the few wild animals not eaten by the local farmers.[5]

El tejón mofeta de Palawan (Mydaus marchei) es una especie de mamífero carnívoro de la familia Mephitidae que habita en Filipinas.[2]
Habita las islas filipinas de Palawan y Busuanga, ubicadas al norte y oriente de Borneo. Habita en las áreas cultivadas y pastizales con matorrales. Estos hábitats existen al oriente y occidente de la isla Palawan.[3]
El tejón mofeta de Palawan, como otros miembros de la familia Mephitidae, tiene algunas de las adaptaciones fosoriales: miembros cortos y musculosos, miembros anteriores equipados con garras largas. Es pequeño y robusto, con cola peluda y corta, y hocico puntiagudo. Su pelo es marrón obscuro, con un parche amarillo claro en el vértice de la cabeza que se proyecta hacia atrás hasta los hombros como una raya. Tiene 320 a 460 mm de largo y un peso promedio de 2,5 kg.[3]
Se cree que M. marchei se alimenta principalmente de invertebrados, especialmente lombrices e insectos, los cuales alcanza excavando con sus largas garras. También puede alimentarse de productos vegetales.
Tiene la habilidad de secretar un líquido oleoso de olor acre. Este fluido es excretado de las glándulas anales como las mofetas. Esta secreción parece ser una línea secundaria de defensa, pues inicialmente puede fingirse muerto.[3]

Mydaus marchei • Blaireau des Philippines
Le Blaireau de Palawan (Mydaus marchei), aussi appelé Blaireau des Philippines[1], est une espèce de mammifères de la famille des Mephitidae (il ne s'agit donc pas d'un « vrai » blaireau qui font partie de la famille des Mustelidae, mais d'une mouffette).
Cette espèce se rencontre aux Philippines dans les îles de Palawan et Busuanga.

Mydaus marchei (Huet, 1887) è un carnivoro della famiglia dei Mefitidi[2].
Insieme al suo stretto parente delle Grandi Isole della Sonda (Mydaus javanensis), è l'unica specie di Mefitide a non essere originario delle Americhe. È noto con il nome comune di tasso delle Filippine o di Palawan.
Questa specie è intitolata all'esploratore e naturalista francese Antoine-Alfred Marche.[3]
In passato alcuni studiosi lo ponevano in un genere a parte, Suillotaxus, ma questa classificazione è stata da tempo abbandonata.
Il tasso delle Filippine è pressoché identico al tasso malese, con un mantello di colore nerastro ed una zona bianca sulla sommità del capo. È tuttavia dotato di orecchie piccole e di una coda più corta (1,5 - 4,5 cm) rispetto a quella del parente della Sonda (5 - 7,5 cm), dal quale si differenzia anche per la mancanza della striscia dorsale bianca. Le dimensioni, inoltre, sono inferiori: 32 – 46 cm rispetto ai 37,5 – 51 cm di M. javanicus.
Vive solamente su alcune isole dell'arcipelago di Palawan (la stessa Palawan, Busuanga e Calauit), situato a metà strada tra il Borneo e le Filippine. Si è evoluto circa 165.000 anni fa, quando, con l'innalzamento del livello del mare, le popolazioni di queste isole rimasero isolate dai tassi del Borneo.
Il tasso delle Filippine è un abitatore del sottobosco delle foreste tropicali e delle aree coltivate. È più attivo di notte, quando lascia i suoi rifugi alla ricerca di vermi ed artropodi terricoli. Se disturbato, è in grado di schizzare il liquido secreto dalle tasche anali contro l'avversario, colpendolo con precisione da una distanza superiore al metro e mezzo. Proprio per questo motivo non costituisce una preda per gli abitanti umani delle isole dove vive, ed anche cani e gatti sembrano evitarlo.

Palavanas smirdīgais āpsis (Mydaus marchei) ir vidēja auguma skunksu dzimtas (Mephitidae) plēsējs, kas pieder smirdīgo āpšu ģintij (Mydaus). Palavanas smirdīgais āpsis ir sastopamas divās Sulu jūras salās: Palavanā un Busuangā. To var sastapt atklātās vietās; biezajā un garajā zālē un kultivētās lauksaimniecības zemēs.[1]
Palavanas smirdīgā āpša klasifikācijā joprojām nav vienprātības zinātnieku starpā. Pastāv vairākas sistematizācijas. Viena no tām iedala Palavanas smirdīgo āpsi pie āpšiem, jo tā morfoloģija un uzvedība ir līdzīga āpšiem, bet jaunākā sistēma Javas smirdīgo āpsi iedala skunksu dzimtā, jo DNS pētījumi pierāda smirdīgo āpšu radniecību tieši ar skunksiem, nevis āpšiem.[2] Reizēm Palavanas smirdīgo āpsi izdala atsevišķā ģintī Suillotaxus.
Ārēji Palavanas smirdīgais āpsis ir līdzīgs Javas smirdīgajam āpsim. Tam ir pagarinātas, masīvas ķermeņa proporcijas, īsas, muskuļotas kājas. Priekškājām gari, spēcīgi nagi, ar kuriem smirdīgais āpsis rok zemi. Aste ir īsa , bet purns slaids un salīdzinoši garš, tā degungals atgādina cūkas šņukuru. Palavanas smirdīgā āpša kažoks ir tumši brūns, bet uz galvas un kakla augšpuses tam ir dzeltens vai gaiši pelēks matojums. Ausis un purns gandrīz bez matojuma. Tā ķermeņa garums ir 32—46 cm, svars 2,5 kg.[1]
Palavanas smirdīgie āpši ir aktīvi dienā un tie ir vientuļnieki. Nav zināms, vai šie dzīvnieki ir teritoriāli vai nav, tomēr ir novērots, ka tie ar muskusu, kas izdalās no anālajiem dziedzeriem zem astes, iezīmē savu ceļu. Smirdīgais muskuss ir ļoti nozīmīgs, lai aizstāvētos pret ienaidniekiem, jo, lai aizbēgtu, smirdīgie āpši nav tik veikli skrējēji, kā arī skriet tie var tikai īsas distances. Tomēr smaka ienaidnieka atbaidīšanai tiek lietota tikai kā cīņas "otrais paņēmiens". Vispirms Palavanas smirdīgais āpsis tēlo beigtu, to var pat pacelt no zemes rokās un pārlikt uz citu vietu. Muskusa šķidrums ir dzeltenā krāsā, un, salīdzinot ar Javas smirdīgā āpša īpaši smirdīgo, zaļo muskusu, Palavanas smirdīgā āpša muskusa smaka ir maiga. Tiem kā visiem skunksiem ir slikta redze, toties laba dzirde un lieliska oža.[1]
Ir ļoti maz zināms par Palavanas smirdīgā āpša barošanās ieradumiem. Pastāv uzskats, ka tas pamatā barojas ar kukaiņiem un sliekām, kuras tiek izraktas ar garo nagu un elastīgā purna palīdzību. Tāpat zinātnieki uzskata, ka tas barojas arī ar augiem.[1]
Par vairošanos faktu materiāls ir ļoti skops. Palavanas smirdīgajam āpsim parasti katru gadu dzimst 2—6 mazuļi, kurus audzina tikai māte. Grūsnības periods ilgst 56 dienas. Mazuļi dzimst alā un pirmās nedēļas migu nepamet. Ar pienu māte tos zīda 4 mēnešus. Ģimene kopā paliek, kamēr mazuļi ir izauguši un no mātes iemācījušies visu nepieciešamo patstāvīgai dzīvei.[1]

De Filipijnse stinkdas (ook wel: Palawanstinkdas) (Mydaus marchei) is een van de twee soorten stinkdassen uit de familie van de stinkdieren. De Filipijnse stinkdas is endemisch in de zuidwestelijke Filipijnen.
De Filipijnse stinkdas wordt zo'n 32 tot 46 cm groot met een gewicht van zo'n 2,5 kg en is daarmee kleiner dan de andere soort uit het geslacht (de Maleise stinkdas, M. javanicus). De soort heeft korte krachtige ledematen en voorpoten met lange klauwen. Hij heeft een korte staart en een puntige snuit. soort is over het algemeen donkerbruin van kleur met een lichte gele vlek op de bovenkant van de kop, die overgaat in een streep naar de schouders toe. Dit in tegenstelling tot zijn Indonesische tegenhanger, die een witte vlek op de kop heeft.
Wanneer een stinkdas aangevallen wordt scheidt hij een doordringende geur af uit zijn anus, in een poging de aanvaller af te schrikken.
De Filipijnse stinkdas komt slechts op de grasvlakten en aangeplante bossen van de Filipijnse eilanden Palawan en Busuanga voor.
Er is niet veel bekend over het voedsel van de Filipijnse stinkdas. Men neemt aan dat ze voornamelijk regenwormen en insecten eten.
Ook over de voortplanting is weinig bekend.

Palawan stinkgrevling (Mydaus marchei) er et lite grevlinglignende stinkdyr, som også er kjent under en rekke lokale navn, herunder også som filippinsk stinkgrevling. Dyret er imidlertid ikke spesielt nært beslektet med grevlingen, som dessuten også hører hjemme i en helt annen familiegruppe.
Palawan stinkgrevling har en grevlinglignende kroppsbygning, men er mye mindre. Kroppen blir omkring 32–46 cm lang og halen kun cirka 1,5–4,5 cm.[2] Arten veier typisk 0,85–2,5 kg.[2] Pelsen har en grov og stri struktur. Fargen er sort eller mørk brun på oversiden og lysere brun i buken, snuten og labbene. På ryggen og hodet er pelsen ispedd spredt hvit behåring. Halen har ikke busket behåring hos denne arten. Snutepartiet er forlenget. Pelsen er noe lenger enn hos Sunda stinkgrevlingen (M. javanensis).
Som navnet tilsier har arten duftkjertler i analåpningen, som den kan bruke til å spraye ut et illeluktende stoff med.
Palawan stinkgrevlingen er relativt tallrik og finnes naturlig på øya Palawan i Filippinene, herunder også på de mindre naboøyene Busuanga og Calauit.[2]

Multimedia w Wikimedia Commons Fetornik palawański (Mydaus marchei) – gatunek ssaka z rodziny skunksowatych (Mephitidae), endemit występujący tylko na trzech wyspach filipińskich. Wykazuje duże podobieństwo do borsuków i do niedawna wraz z innymi skunksowatymi zaliczany był do łasicowatych. Badania genetyczne wykazały jednak, że skunksowate powinny tworzyć odrębny takson[3].
Występuje tylko na trzech filipińskich wyspach na północ od Borneo: Palawan, Calauit i Busuanga[4].
Spotykano go w zaroślach łąkowych i mało intensywnych uprawach[5]. Stosunkowo duże zagęszczenie wykazuje też w lasach wtórnych i siedliskach krzewiastych, gdzie buduje nory. Ślady jego obecności stwierdzono też na obszarach leśnych, lasach nizinnych i środowisku mieszanym aż do krawędzi namorzynów[6].
Długość ciała od 32 do 46 cm i masa średnio 2,5 kg. Nie zauważono by cechował je wyraźny dymorfizm płciowy[5]. Są krępe z krótkim ogonem i jasnym, spiczastym pyskiem. Futro ciemnobrązowe z jasnożółtą plamą na czubku głowy, która ciągnie się do wysokości ramion. Na grzbiecie rozsiane są białe i srebrzyste pojedyncze włosy. Uszy i oczy mają mniejsze niż fetornik sundajski, a także dłuższe i miększe futro[4]. Ogon jest krótki, o prawie kwadratowym pokroju, długości od 15 do 45 mm[4]. Zwierzę ma krótkie, muskularne kończyny i przednie łapy wyposażone w długie pazury[5].
Wzór zębowy: I 3/3, C1/1, P3/4, M1/1[4].
Jak wszystkie skunksowate są wyposażone w duże gruczoły odbytowe, w których produkują cuchnącą wydzielinę[7].
W przeciwieństwie do większości skunksowatych fetornik palawański wydaje się prowadzić dzienny tryb życia[7], choć inni autorzy opisują go jaki zwierzę nocne[8]. W poszukiwaniu pokarmu może przebyć odległość 2 km[8].
Jest stopochodny. Słabo biega. Najczęściej dość ciężko wędruje trzymając szeroko rozstawione nogi i wyginając nieco ciało tak, że tylne stopy opadają na ślady przednich stóp. Podczas żerowania pozostawia śmierdzący ślad, co oznacza, że używa tych gruczołów w innych celach niż obrona[7]. Nie jest szczególnie agresywny. Słysząc zbliżających się ludzi głośno tupie. Gdy to nie pomaga udaje padłego. Dopiero wzięty na ręce może zareagować „wystrzeleniem” na „wroga” wydzieliny z gruczołów odbytowych[7].
Słabo widzą, ale mają dobry słuch i doskonały węch. Obszary w mózgu odpowiedzialne za percepcję wzrokową są słabo rozwinięte[4].
Najmniej danych dotyczy rozrodu fetornika palawańskiego. Samice rodzą młode w liczbie 2-3 sztuk, najprawdopodobniej w norach[9].
Jest owadożerny, ale spożywa także małe kraby słodkowodne. Kopie dziury w wilgotnej glebie w poszukiwaniu bezkręgowców. Zaobserwowano jego wspólne żerowanie z wyderką orientalną[8].
Dużym zagrożeniem dla gatunku może okazać się dalsze przekształcenie siedlisk w tereny rolnicze. Polowania i presja ze strony udomowionych drapieżników (psy, koty), zdaje się nie mieć większego wpływu na stan populacji. IUCN w swojej czerwonej liście, ze względu na stosunkowo niewielki obszar występowania (poniżej 20 000 km²) oraz niewielką liczbę stanowisk, klasyfikował gatunek ze statusem VU – narażony (2002)[10]. Obecnie (2018) ze statusem LC – gatunek najmniejszej troski[8][2]. Jako endemit chroniony jest na poziomie prowincji, choć w tym kierunku nie przeprowadzono żadnych działań. Zamieszkuje co najmniej jeden rejon chroniony: Park Narodowy Rzeki Podziemnej Puerto Princesa[2][8].

Filippinsk stinkgrävling (Mydaus marchei) är ett rovdjur som förekommer endemiskt på den filippinska ön Palawan.
Med en kroppslängd (huvud och bål) av 32 till 46 cm, en svanslängd av 1,5 till 4,5 cm och en vikt omkring 2,5 kg är arten lite mindre än sina nära släkting malajisk stinkgrävling. Pälsen är på ovansidan svartbrun till svart med några ljusare hår men den saknar en ljus strimma på ryggen. Den långdragna nosen påminner i viss mån om grisens tryne.[2] Kännetecknande är dessutom långa klor vid framtassarna och vid de 5,6 till 6,8 cm långa bakfötterna. Öronen är 1,9 till 2,8 cm stora.[3] Som namnet antyder producerar djuret en illaluktande vätska i analkörtlarna.[4]
Förutom Palawan finns arten även på Calamianöarna som tillhör samma provins. Arten vistas i olika habitat som skogar i låglandet, busk- och gräsmarker eller i människans samhällen. Födan utgörs av maskar och andra ryggradslösa djur som stinkgrävlingen gräver fram från marken med nosen och med tassarna.[1] Kanske ingår några ryggradsdjur i födan.[3] Liksom andra skunkar kan arten spruta den stinkande vätskan mot en fiende. Den kan även spela död tills den främmande individen kommer fram innan vätskan sprutas. Troligen vilar filippinsk stinkgrävling i underjordiska bon som den gräver själv eller som överlämnades tom av ett piggsvin.[4]
Filippinsk stinkgrävling (Mydaus marchei) är ett rovdjur som förekommer endemiskt på den filippinska ön Palawan.
Mydaus marchei (Смердюий скунс палаванський) — вид ссавців родини Скунсових.
Цей вид є ендеміком для групи острова Палаван, розташованого між Борнео і Філіппінами. Вид знаходиться в рівнинних лісах, первинних і вторинних, порушених місцях існування, в тому числі суміші пасовищ і другого росту лісів. Цей вид також можна знайти в міських районах.
Lửng hôi đảo Palawan (danh pháp khoa học: Mydaus marchei) là một loài động vật có vú trong họ Chồn hôi, bộ Ăn thịt. Loài này được Huet mô tả năm 1887.[2] Loài này phân bố ở phía tây Philippines. Loài này tiết ra hóa chất độc mạnh phun ra từ tuyến hậu môn khi bị kẻ thù săn đuổi. Chúng hoạt động về đêm và ăn chủ yếu là động vật không xương sống, như cua nước ngọt và các loài côn trùng nhỏ, mà chúng đào ra khỏi mặt đất bằng móng vuốt dài. Chúng có khả năng đào bới tốt, và có thể trải qua trong ngày tại các điểm đào bới. Họ có thể đi được quãng đường 2 km để tìm thức ăn, và chúng đánh dấu lãnh thổ bằng mùi hương.

팔라완오소리(Mydaus javanensis)은 스컹크과에 속하는 포유류의 일종이다. 필리핀 서부 지역에서 발견되며, 이름은 겉모습이 오소리를 닮아서 붙여졌고, 고약한 냄새로 유명하다. 팔라완섬의 토착종이다. 모든 스컹크오소리처럼, 팔라완스컹크오소리도 한때는 스컹크보다는 오소리와 같은 조상을 공유하는 것으로 간주했다. 그러나 현재는 유전학적 증거를 바탕으로 스컹크과 포유류로 분류하고 있다.[2] 몸 크기는 큰 스컹크 또는 작은 오소리 정도이며, 밤에 덤불 속에서 무척추동물을 먹이로 잡기 위해서 오소리처럼 작은 몸이 필요하다.
