An animal that needs no introduction! Instantly recognizable for their signature coloration as well as their foul smelling defense system, the striped skunk is found throughout the United States and southern Canada. The fluid that skunks spray when upset or threatened can cause temporary blindness and pain if sprayed in the eyes of a potential attacker. Did you know that baby skunks can spray this fluid at eight days old, about two weeks before their eyes open?!
