What is a Skunk?
Skunks are small, furry mammals best known for the strong-smelling spray they use to protect themselves from danger. They usually have black fur with bright white stripes or spots and are about the size of a house cat. Most skunks weigh between 1 and 4.5 kilograms, and they live around forests, grasslands, and sometimes near human homes. Skunks are mostly active at night and love to eat insects, small animals, fruit, and plants. They have sharp claws for digging and a thick tail that helps keep them warm. Skunks usually live for up to 3 years in the wild, and while they’re quiet most of the time, they will stamp their feet or hiss to warn predators before spraying their smelly defense.
