Skunks
The size of a cat or smaller with long fur and bushy tails, skunks are easily identified by their distinctive black and white coloration. These near-sighted omnivores have a hearty appetite for grubs and insect pests, and have also been known to consume mice and small rats. They are members of the Mustelid family, which also includes weasels, martens, and badgers. Skunks are found throughout North America, with only one species found in Asia.

What does skunk spray look like?
If it is a direct close range strike, It will look like a dirty yellow. My dog (Siberian husky) has attacked 2 skunks so far and the first time he was shot in the face, mouth, and eye area 12 times. The worst thing is it was the dead of winter, and I was 7 months pregnant! If you are reading this, then you probably need to break out your hydrogen peroxide, baking soda, and Dove Dish soap! If you have a dog then keep a supply of those Items on hand at all times!!!

From what I have been able to quickly gather, it is a fairly recent term (20th Century) probably originating in America. But we say "Drunk as a skunk".

Yes, I've seen it with my own eyes. We found a 2 young rabbits in a shallow depression under the bunk of our pop-up camper. During the night we were awaken by a shrill scream. By the time I got there the skunk had killed one of the young and was eating it. I suppose that it was nature a work but it took a while before I got back to sleep.

How do you remove skunk odor from hardwood floors?
I hope you get a better answer on this, but I firmly believe you can't. The only reasonable solution is to remove the floor where the skunk has sprayed. It might help a bit if you use a UV light (Skunk spray is fluorescent in UV) to see the spray location. Good luck.
YES! My mom's dog was visiting, and literally was sniffing the skunk when she got a full spray in the face. She then proceeded to come into my house dripping in skunk. It then dripped all over my floors which are all hardwood. I immediately goggled skunk hardwood floors, and it was not encouraging. However in a blog I found this product. I was a bit skeptical at first, but it worked! No more smell.

If you described a skunk as mephitic. W hat would you be describing?
You would be describing the skunk's odor.
They eat weeds, roots, bird eggs, bugs, acorns, rats, moles, stink bugs, birds, rats, bats, mice, beans, pumpkins, oranges, lizards and snakes.
What if a dog won't eat or drink after being sprayed by a skunk?
It probably got skunk spray in its mouth, which can make it hard to taste anything but it. Best way to deal with it is to wash the poor dog's mouth with tomato juice or some other skunk removing substance that's non-toxic. I'd see your vet.
