Coloring ideas for Skunk
Skunks are famous for their bold black-and-white coloring, but that doesn't mean you can’t get creative. Try coloring their fur with rich black or dark grey, and make the white stripes pop with bright whites or even silver. Their noses, eyes, and tiny paws can be darker shades like charcoal or brown. The background can be filled with forest greens, earthy browns, or even some fiery colors if your skunk is near a volcano like in the coloring pages!

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.
