*** About Skunks: Known for their distinctive black and white coloring, skunks are small mammals most famous for their ability to spray a highly odorous liquid as a defense mechanism against predators. The two main species, the striped and spotted skunks, are typically nocturnal and can be found in a variety of habitats ranging from woodlands to urban areas. Skunks are omnivores, eating both plant and animal matter, and their diet changes based on the seasons. They are solitary creatures, except during breeding season. The depiction of skunks in art often softens their reputation, highlighting their playful nature and unique aesthetics rather than their defensive spray.
