I once had a skunk as a pet.
Are you serious?,Hahaha, they are  mammals in the family Mephitidae.
Yes they are. Only mine could no longer spray people.
Lucky you, I hate them because of their  ability to spray a liquid with a strong unpleasant smell.
The remedy to that smell is to bathe in tomato juice, but who has time for that?
I agree. Oh well, Different species of skunk vary in appearance from black-and-white to brown, cream or ginger colored
Mine was black and white. He used a litter box and did a few tricks even. They are smart.
It would shock you to know that Skunk" has historic use as an insult, attested from 1841
