A striped skunk
Four species. The striped, hognosed, spotted, and hooded.
Striped hog-nosed skunk was created in 1785.
Mephitis mephitis for the striped skunk. There are several skunk species with different scientific names, of course.
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.
