***About Striped Skunks

***: Striped skunks are small, nocturnal mammals primarily known for their ability to spray a highly odorous liquid as a defense mechanism. Native to North America, these creatures are easily recognizable by their distinctive black and white coloring. Typically, skunks are shy and avoid humans, but they play critical roles in their ecosystems as scavengers. They feed on various pests, which helps control the population of insects and small rodents. Despite their notorious defense mechanism, skunks are important participants in a healthy environmental balance, often inhabiting forested areas and the outskirts of urban areas where they have adapted surprisingly well to human presence.
