Skunks

as long as you can smell it

#

Skunks have warning coloration of their fur as well as anal scent glands that can spray a malodorous musk up to 10 feet. Because of this, the skunk's only regular predator is the great horned owl.

if you mean the looks, that'll probably not change much. if you mean their status, it may be that there will be less wild skunks and more pet skunks. however, it is possible to have little in the wild and nobody keeping pet skunks. spotted skunks may be endangered greatly in the future

Mine is managing to! I am dealing with SKUNK smell for the first time, and what a mess! Couldn't leave the dog where it happened nor wash him there, so he rode home in the trunk fro 20 minutes, and even though I covered everything first and there was an area rug in the well of the trunk, it was so fresh that the car wreaks! Followed the Hydrogen-peroxide/DAWN/Baking Soda hint- made some headway, but where ever he lays his head (luckily the only part hit) it leaves a trace. HATE wasting all the water to keep rewashing all the stuff he touches. Poor baby cant understand why he's been exiled from the bedroom! :(

Yes! Here in Maine I relocate around 6 to 8 skunks a year and I could swear that there is one that I recognize every few weeks.

the sleep in trees! they are spider skunks!

Skunks have many benefits - most of which outweigh their real or perceived problems. Skunks eat just about anything - including, (but not limited to) mice, voles, moles, snakes, lizards, spiders, grubs, slugs, caterpillars, centipedes, chipmunks etc. Many find a skunk living under their porch and choose to have it trapped, killed or removed, rather than solve the problem very simply...

Skunk Anasie is a British band that was formed in 1994 and continued until 2001 when they took a break until 2009 and are still working on music today. They have released 5 studio albums and some compilation albums as well.

Because of the 12 species of skunk, 2 are also badgers (European species)

Over the Hedge, and I think The Wild.

of course, but the skunk might fend it off with his spray. All its really going to bite into is hairy creature full of stank juice. :D

Many sites list June 14th as National Skunk Day.

Unless you have a wildlife permit, keeping skunks is illegal!

Spotted skunks are the smallest kind. But even the largest of skunks are only about the size of a pet house cat. It's tail only slightly larger than its body. Hooded skunks have tails longer than their bodies. But all skunks have some pretty long fluffy, furry, tails.

Skunks are weaned about 2 months after birth. However, they do generally stay with their mother until they are ready to mate, at about one year after birth.

They don't dig into the ground, but they do stamp their front feet before they spray as a warning. However, if you startle them, they can spray without giving a warning.

Domestic cats are easily caught by hand- just bring a towel along, to wrap them up in!

Yes, polecats can spray a foul-smelling liquid similar to skunks, although their spray is generally less potent. Both animals use this defensive mechanism to deter predators. The spray of a polecat comes from anal glands and can cause irritation to the eyes and nose of potential threats. However, polecats are less known for this behavior compared to skunks, which are famous for their strong-smelling spray.

chicken wire at the base of the fence would probably be the only sure way and also dont leave food in your backyard to attract them.

Some strains of cannabis sativa smell exactly like a skunk.

About anywhere I've seen them about everywhere in the U.S.A The only other place I've been without seeing them is Jamaica.

sprinkle baking soda on them or try a water and baking soda solution
