Adult skunks begin breeding in February, and their young is born 7-10 weeks later, in early May. Younger skunks begin breeding in March or April and have their young the first part of June. That said, skunks only breed once a year, and each litter can be 1-15; however, it is most commonly 4-6.

What is a measure of reproductive activity?

A measure of reproductive activity can be quantified through various metrics, such as the birth rate, which indicates the number of live births per 1,000 people in a given population over a specific period. Other indicators include the total fertility rate, which reflects the average number of children a woman would have during her reproductive years, and the reproductive success rate, which assesses the number of offspring produced that survive to reproductive age. These measures help demographers and researchers understand population growth and dynamics.
