Though they are infamous for their foul-smelling odor, skunks are often considered nuisances for reasons beyond their terrible stench. Their distinctive spray is made up of oils and sulfur compounds. It is sprayed from their anus with deadly accuracy up to 10 feet away and can cause burning pain and blindness in addition to the nauseating stench.
APPEARANCE
Several species of skunks live in North America, and their coats feature different patterns of white stripes, spots, or swirls on black fur. About the size of a house cat, skunks have small, triangular heads, long bodies, and muscular legs with sharp claws used for digging. Their long, bushy tails are often also marked with varying white patterns or stripes.
DIET
Skunks typically come out at night to forage for fruits, berries, eggs, insects, worms, and small animals. As opportunistic omnivores, they will not pass up the chance to eat spilled birdseed, garbage, or garden vegetables, as well.
HABITAT
Wooded areas with plenty of vegetation are the preferred habitat of wild skunks. Easily accessible food and water sources are their top priorities, so skunks can adapt to many other environments, including residential areas, as long as these things are present. They usually make their burrows in the abandoned dens of other animals but will also search for suitable logs, brush piles, or abandoned buildings in which to dig out comfortable nests.
