Special: $10 Off Skunk Removal

The striped skunk Mephitis is about the size of a cat, but has a stout body, a rather small head, short legs, and a bushy tail.

The skunk has long, straight claws for digging out burrows and ripping apart old logs for grubs and larvae. It moves slowly and deliberately and depends for safety not on running away or on remaining inconspicuous, but on its scent glands.

Skunks have well-developed scent glands and a musky odor. The skunk is outstanding for this characteristic and can discharge a bad smelling fluid to defend itself. Indeed its scientific name, Mephitis, is a Latin word meaning bad odor.
