Honey Badgers and Stink Badgers both use their scent glands for defense but both animals belonged in separate families Honey Badgers belong to the family Melidae while Stink Badgers belong to the family Mephitidae honey badgers and true badgers also belonged to the superfamily Musteloidea making them most closely related to weasels, martens, and otters while skunks and stink badgers both belong to the superfamily Procyonoidea making them more closely related to raccoons, red pandas, and coatis.

What are properties that seen when one substance changes to another one?

Badgers are short-legged, heavy-set omnivores in the weasel family, Mustelidae. There are eight species of badger, in three subfamilies (see links in species list below): Melinae (badgers of Europe and Asia), Mellivorinae (the Ratel or honey badger), and Taxideinae (the American badger). The Asiatic stink badgers of the genus Mydaus were formerly included in the Melinae and Mustelidae, but recent genetic evidence[citation needed] indicates that these are actually members of the skunk family, placing them in the taxonomic family Mephitidae
