One of the few pages on the Web dedicated solely to this rare species. Having said that, much of the information presented here relates to ferret badgers in general rather than this species in particular.
Increasingly accepted as a full species rather than as a subspecies of the Burmese ferret badger, the Javan ferret badger (Melogale orientalis) is poorly known. This article pulls together what little information is available.

About half way down this web page, just below the entry for Mustela sibirica davidiana, is some brief info on the Chinese ferret badger, Melogale moschata. Click on the camera icon to see a photo of the species in a pop-up window.
This page, featuring three photos of a captive Chinese ferret badger, was moved to another URL and then disappeared from the Web completely. The good news is that the Wayback Machine website archived the page. The bad news is that it only archived two of the photos.
Very brief text and a very unusual photograph of a family of ferret badgers - two adults and two young. The pelage of the animals is pale however and I suspect that the picture may be of mounted specimens rather than live ferret badgers.
Brief text, and a photo showing the dorsal view of a Chinese ferret badger (most likely caught by a camera trap). There is also a photo of an American badger.
This page gives brief information on the Chinese ferret badger, and three photos.

Click on the link for the Formosan ferret badger in the bottom right corner of this page, to be taken to a page with very brief information on the species, and a photo. The photo can be clicked on to see a slightly larger version.
On this page of The Virtual Badger Sett website, there is a map and brief description of the distribution of the Burmese ferret badger. The map is incorrect however, as it only shows the part of the range which overlaps with that of the Chinese ferret badger. The Burmese ferret badger also occurs to the south of the range indicated on this map, in Myanmar, Thailand, Laos, Cambodia and Vietnam. There are links from this page to separate pages with a picture of and text about the ferret badgers.
A two-page PDF document providing some brief information about the Burmese ferret badger, with a large colour illustration on the second page. Note: If you get an error message \'Error Reading linearized hint data\' you need to turn off the \'Allow fast web view\' function in Acrobat.
A brief account on the ARCBC BISS species database, which focuses mainly on the distribution of this species in SE Asia, with a colour illustration of the species which can be clicked on to see a larger version.
This page of The Virtual Badger Sett website describes with a map and a brief description the distribution of the Everett\'s ferret badger. This is given as Borneo, with the map showing the species occurring throughout the island, whereas it is actually confined to Mount Kinabalu.There are links from this page to separate pages with pictures of and text about the ferret badgers.
The ferret badgers of Java are generally regarded as a subspecies of the Burmese ferret badger, Melogale personata. However, a case has been made for this population to be designated as a full species. This page provides brief information on that species.
