About the Skunk

A skunk is a small mammal with black and white fur. It has a strong, smelly spray that it uses to protect itself from danger.

Skunks live in North and South America and are nocturnal, meaning they are active at night. They are omnivores, which means they eat both plants and animals.

Skunks are known for their scent, but they are also good climbers and swimmers. They are shy creatures and will only use their smelly spray as a last resort.
