The sea otter (Enhydra lutris) belongs to the family Mustelidae, which also includes badgers, skunks and weasels.
Mustelidae is among the largest animal families, partially because it does not have clear specifications and has been used as a receptacle for difficult-to-classify organisms, much like the kingdom Protista. Indeed, there is disagreement about whether Mustelidae should be divided into multiple families due to the possibility that its genera evolved along different lines (Bryant et al., 2002).
