I have a purse with a picture of a sunk on it! :) you know, the mammal in the Mephitidae family?
What is the Mephitidae family?
It is the scientific classification of them. Like humans are "homo sapiens". Species, genus, family. Have you ever seen or smelled a skunk before? They can spray a strong smelling liquid!
Yes I have.  I grew up in an area that had skunks and they do stink!  It the liquid poisonous?
No, it just smells very strong. I have some near me as well and the smell doesn't bother me. We have some black and white ones. There are also cream or ginger colored skunks.
I did not know there were other color skunks!  What do they eat?
They're omnivorous, and eat plants and animals. Depending on what's available and the time of year they eat different things. I actually seen a baby one recently and he was digging in the grass, probably eating bugs!
