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.

Most skunks prefer to eat insects (especially grubs and bees); they will also eat a variety of fruits, seeds, and even small rodents. Male skunks tend to have little contact with their babies: baby skunks (called "kits") are raised by their mother.
