***About Striped Skunk:

*** The striped skunk, known scientifically as Mephitis mephitis, is a small, nocturnal mammal predominantly found across North America. Recognizable by its distinctive black and white coloring, this skunk is famous for its defensive spray—a strong, odorous secretion used to deter predators. Despite their reputation, skunks are beneficial to farmers and gardeners due to their appetite for pest insects and small rodents. Skunks are typically solitary creatures, except during the mating season, and inhabit a diverse range of environments from rural farmlands to suburban gardens. Their adaptability in various landscapes and their role in ecological balance underscore their significance in biodiversity.
