Title

Shouldn't the title of this article be List of fictional Musteloids in animation ? This is since it includes skunks and racoons, which aren't members of the family Mustelidae, but members of the super family Musteloidea ; specifically, racoons are members of the family Procyonidae and skunks are members of the Mephitidae. I think the capitalization of the family name is also more correct in the suggested correction. Graham.Fountain | Talk 15:35, 29 October 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Raccoons (procyonids), skunks (mephitids) and red pandas (ailurids) are not mustelids. This article referenences the superfamily musteloidea, which is collectively referred to as musteloids. The term mustelid refers ONLY to the mustelidae, that is, weasels, otters, martens, ferrets, badgers, etc. So, this article can be "List of fictional mustelids" and include only animals in the family mustelidae, or it should be "List of fictional musteloids" if there is a desire to keep the species on the list as it is.
