A striped skunk
Striped hog-nosed skunk was created in 1785.
Mephitis, which is a common striped skunk, and Spilogale, which is a common spotted skunk. There are 8 more species that are much less common. Mephitis in Latin means "noxious vapor".
The average life span for a striped skunk(Mephitis mephitis) in the wild is six years.
Striped skunks are the normal skunks. All skunks have stripes unless they are bred to be albino or bred to be more white then black, but every skunk is striped even Spotted skunks.
No, they are less abundant.
