Il termine "gatto puzzola" non � un nome scientifico formale, ma una designazione comune ampiamente utilizzata in diverse regioni per descrivere un piccolo mammifero carnivoro il cui aspetto e il cui comportamento di difesa olfattiva ricordano quelli di una puzzola, mentre le proporzioni corporee e l'agilit� evocano paragoni con un gatto. In contesti zoologici, questo nome si riferisce pi� comunemente alla puzzola striata africana , scientificamente riconosciuta come Ictonyx striatus . In alcune regioni e nella letteratura informale, lo stesso animale pu� anche essere chiamato zorilla, puzzola striata o puzzola africana. La diversit� dei nomi ha contribuito a una lunga confusione tra i non specialisti e, storicamente, anche all'interno dei primi tentativi di classificazione scientifica.
Stabilire l'identit� tassonomica della puzzola richiede di separare il linguaggio comune dai sistemi biologici formali. La classificazione scientifica non si basa su somiglianze superficiali o tradizioni di denominazione culturali, ma su antenati comuni, struttura anatomica, relazioni genetiche e storia evolutiva. Esaminata da questa prospettiva, la puzzola non � chiaramente un gatto e non � una puzzola in senso stretto, nonostante prenda in prestito tratti da entrambe le specie nell'aspetto e nelle strategie difensive.
Posizionamento all'interno del sistema di classificazione dei mammiferi
Da un punto di vista biologico, la puzzola appartiene al regno Animalia , phylum Chordata e classe Mammalia . Questi raggruppamenti di livello superiore la collocano tra gli animali vertebrati dotati di spina dorsale, pelo o pelliccia, ghiandole mammarie e fisiologia endotermica. Tra i mammiferi, � classificata nell'ordine dei Carnivora , un ordine diversificato che include animali adattati principalmente al consumo di carne, sebbene molti membri mostrino flessibilit� alimentare.
L'ordine dei Carnivori � diviso in due sottordini principali: Feliformia e Caniformia . I Feliformi includono gatti, iene e manguste, mentre i Caniformi includono cani, orsi, lontre, donnole e puzzole. La puzzola rientra nei Caniformia , il che la avvicina di pi� ai mustelidi e alle puzzole che ai veri felini. Questa collocazione � supportata dalla struttura cranica, dalla formula dentaria, dall'anatomia degli arti e dal sequenziamento genetico.
Classificazione a livello di famiglia: Mustelidae
A livello familiare, la puzzola � inserita tra i Mustelidi , una delle famiglie pi� diversificate dell'ordine dei Carnivori. I mustelidi includono donnole, furetti, martore, lontre, tassi e puzzole. I membri di questa famiglia sono caratterizzati da corpi allungati, arti relativamente corti, ghiandole odorifere ben sviluppate e una colonna vertebrale altamente flessibile che consente movimenti agili.
