Guloninae

Guloninae[2][3] is a subfamily of the mammal family Mustelidae distributed across Eurasia and the Americas. It includes martens and the fisher, tayra and wolverine.[2][3] These genera were formerly included within a paraphyletic definition of the mustelid subfamily Mustelinae.[4]

gollark: YAML's a bit of a terrible format, I have to agree.
gollark: Mostly my networking stuff is either on my laptop, where I just want to connect to WiFi and not do much complicated stuff, or simple enough to be handled well by just enabling dhcpcd or whatever.
gollark: I see. That does sound a bit problematic.
gollark: What's wrong with snap? I've never actually used it.
gollark: Which is slightly annoying because for some bizarre reason it won't let me adjust the audio settings much...
