Biology:List of fictional musteloids

From HandWiki
Short description: None

The following list of fictional musteloids is subsidiary to the list of fictional animals. This includes weasels, ferrets, minks, otters, martens, skunks, raccoons, and red pandas.

Fictional badgers are instead found within the list of fictional badgers.

Fictional raccoons are found in the list of fictional raccoons.

If a character appears in more than one medium, it is sorted under the primary one. Thus, despite occasional appearances in licensed video games, Pepé Le Pew is listed under the List of fictional musteloids in animation.
