The zorilla (ictonyx striatus) is a small nocturnal carnivore native to sub-Saharan Africa. It is a mustelid, like weasels, ferrets and otters, and closely resembles North American skunks. The zorilla is black, with a white spot on the forehead and white stripes along the body, and, like skunks, uses scent glands under its tail to spray a malodorous liquid at predators.

Theres a small black animal in my yard with white ears and a white tip at the end of its long bushy tail. it only comes out at night. it is medium sized and nocturnal. do you know what it is?

It would help to know where you are, exactly. It may be what is called an African zorilla, which resembles the North American skunk. The zorilla might sometimes be called a polecat. But the zorilla lives in dry regions of Africa. Edit the question to include your geographical location.
