Badgers and otters are related to weasels, ferrets, and stoats

Undercover agents?  

Interesting... pine martins and wolverines, too.  There's even a ferret-badger!  Did anyone notice Lutrinae?

Cool but what's this topic about   

[BadgerLordFiredrake]

And wolverines are larger than badgers...

But just thinking about it.

[rachel25]

I'll ask again what's this topic about 

[BadgerLordFiredrake]

Just discussing, thinking, etc. like other topics...

[Sailears]

What about mice and rats?

[Redwaller]

This is quite interesting! There's about ten kinds of badgers, and some not even looking like normal badgers! 

[BadgerLordFiredrake]

Rodents.  Squirrels too, though.

@Redwaller don't forget about those ferret-badgers!

[Tam and Martin]

Woah! That is cool!

That is cool^^

[Lutra]

My guess is the topic is to discuss the fact that badgers and otters are considered goodies, while their relatives are considered baddies in Redwall.

[MeadowR]

Badgers, particularly, don't look like ferrets, etc., at all, so I'm sure they don't even think about the fact they're somewhat related to the vermin! Why would they want to!

[Shadowed One]

Maybe their relatives did something bad to them a long time ago, so now they hate them.
