| The Striped Skunk (Mephitis mephitis) is a common and widespread mammal over most of the United States and Canada. Striped Skunks feed on fruits, berries, eggs, rodents, and many other items including carrion. Like other skunks, the Striped Skunks main defensive mechanism is a powerful and noxious odor which they can spray as far as 15 feet from the underside of the base of the tail. |
