| Melogale everetti (Thomas, 1895) |
The Bornean Ferret-badger (Melogale everetti), also known as the Everett's Ferret-badger or Kinabalu Ferret-badger, is a member of the Mustelidae family. It is only known with certainty from the highland forests on Mount Kinabalu and nearby regions in Sabah, Malaysia, but is suspected to occur elsewhere on Borneo, including Brunei, Kalimantan (to Indonesia) and Sarawak (to Malaysia).
The major threat to this species is habitat loss.
It is named after Alfred Hart Everett (1848-1898).
