The genus Spilogale includes all skunks commonly known as spotted skunks and is composed of four different species: S. gracilis, S. putorius, S. pygmaea, S. angustifrons. Mammalogists consider S. gracilis and S. putorius different species because of differences in reproductive patterns, reproductive morphology, and chromosomal variation. However, interbreeding has never been falsified. The name Spilogale comes from the Greek word spilo, which means "spotted", and gale, which means "weasel". Putorius is the Latin word for "fetid odor". Gracilis is the Latin word for "slender". Several other names attributed to S. putorius include: civet cat, polecat, hydrophobian skunk, phoby skunk, phoby cat, tree skunk, weasel skunk, black marten, little spotted skunk, four-lined skunk, four-striped skunk, and sachet kitty.
The western spotted skunk (Spilogale gracilis) can be found west of the Continental Divide from southern British Columbia to Central America, as well as in some parts of Montana, North Dakota, Wyoming, Colorado, and western Texas. Eastward, its range borders that of the eastern spotted skunk (Spilogale putorius). Spilogale gracilis generally occupies lowland areas but they are sometimes found at higher elevations (2600 m). Although the western spotted skunk is now recognized as S. gracilis, previously, skunks west of the Cascade Crest in British Columbia, Washington, and Oregon as a distinct subspecies (S. p. latifrons).

Rare species of skunk sited during the Missouri Ozark Forest Ecosystem Project. This 'lil guy may help shed some light on breeding and distribution of his species, possibly considered a prairie species. And if not, he is still a cutie! Enjoy!

Southern spotted skunk (Spilogale angustifrons) rescued in urban Masaya, Nicaragua. This is a juvenile, was found with a parental unit near which could not be retrieved. Had been injured and was hiding in a rock wall. It now appears healthy, suffering mostly from some swelling in one eye. Jeffrey McCrary of Gaia handling the animal. We will try to return it to health and release it into the wild in Laguna de Apoyo Nature Reserve, where the species is abundant and native. Contact us at apoyo@gaianicaragua.org.
The Spotted Skunk (Spilogale putorius) is smaller and more weasel-like than the striped skunk. Both species are nocturnal and crepuscular. The spotted skunks are faster and more agile than the striped skunks and they have better pelts.
Eastern spotted skunks (Spilogale putorius) utilize burrows for shelter, and tend to avoid areas where there are people. This unusual spotted skunk, however, decided to hideout in this couples dryer vent. ***Video credit to Tanya Ayers***

Skunk elimination while hog hunting. 80 degrees, 70% humidity, 10pm in the evening. First spotted skunk past 120 yards, identification at 100. Video is not as clear as objective that night as I am describing what I see to my friend although it is almost not evident on the video. Shot entered the skunk just below his chin and exited out the lower abdomen. All videos on this account were taken with a suppressed 300 blackout, either CMMG 16" AR15 or Ruger American Ranch bolt action.
Caught On Surveillance Camera: It may look like this spotted skunk is dancing near the 241 Toll Road, but its walking handstand is actually meant to intimidate and scare away predators. We’re constantly reviewing footage from strategically placed motion-sensing cameras near The Toll Roads to observe animals and ensure they are served well by the culverts and wildlife undercrossings we’ve constructed using extensive study of animal travel patterns.
Okay I might have a proper uploading schedule by now. I'll speedpaint things on Saturdays then upload them on Sundays (One week might be excluded because I'll be out of the city) For now here's this skunk girl from Kemofure and I wish 5 star characters weren't so hard to get because she's kinda cute and I want her to be a part of my tank teams.

WILDLIFE : ACROBATIC Skunk Doing Handstand in Happy Valley Arizona (WILDLIFE CAMERA) https://youtu.be/yGyIPwsbfDU Wildlife Camera in Arizona Catches Acrobatic Skunk Doing Handstand A rare glimpse into the acrobatic antics of the spotted skunk was captured by the National Park Service at the Saguaro National Park in Arizona. The video, recorded by a wildlife camera in Happy Valley, showed a spotted skunk walking on its hands, according to a Wednesday post on the U.S. Department of Interior's Instagram account. While the behavior may seem bizarre, it is actually quite normal and not a particularly good sign for anyone standing too close. It's commonly known that most skunks will spray "a strong unpleasant scent as a form of defense," the post stated. But, unlike other skunks, spotte...
Mary Cummins of Animal Advocates and Leslie Rink of the Opossum Society present an educational show about skunks and skunk rehabilitation. Skunks (sometimes referred to, generally in North American countries, as polecats) are mammals best known for their ability to excrete a strong, foul-smelling odor. General appearance ranges from species to species from black and white to brown or cream colored. They belong to the family Mephitidae and to the order Carnivora. There are 11 species of skunks, which are divided into four genera: Mephitis (hooded and striped skunks, two species), Spilogale (spotted skunks, two species), Mydaus (stink badgers, two species), and Conepatus (hog-nosed skunks, five species). The two skunk species in the Mydaus genus inhabit Indonesia and the Philippines; al...

Spots and stripes are great camouflage for creatures. They help them blend into their environments. When Chris, Martin and Zoboo see striped and spotted creatures (tiger cub, serval cats, Dalmatian puppies, coati babies, a skunk), they get inspired to paint Animal Junction in spots and stripes. Zoboo takes that inspiration a step further when he paints spots on Martin and stripes on Chris. He also paints himself with spots and stripes, and the gang learns about being a camouflaged creature. Jackie says that milkweed plants may look like weeds, but they’re home for striped monarch caterpillars, so please don’t pick them. In Zobooland, Zoboo meets Boogle, who’s sitting in a zoot fruit tree eating its fruit. The zoot is messy and drips all over Boogle, giving him spots. Those spots are good c...
Rare, exotic animals are the latest craze among people living in big cities. A modern apartment is no longer a place for just a cat or dog. Now crocodiles live in bathrooms, pigs sleep in beds and ostriches lounge on lawns in front of country houses. The more unusual the pet, the more extraordinary its owner is in the eyes of others. Find out more about exotic animals and their owners on RT.

The Adventures of Jimmy Skunk audiobook by Thornton W. Burgess (1874-1965) The Adventures of Jimmy Skunk is another in the long list children's books by the conservationist, Thornton W. Burgess. In this book, Jimmy Skunk has encounters with Reddy Fox, Peter Rabbit, Unc' Billy Possum and other acquaintances of his in the Green Meadows and Green Forest. Along the way, we learn some of the habits of Jimmy and his friends and we learn little lessons about life such as the importance of always keeping one's temper, keeping promises and not playing practical jokes. We are also treated to a philosophical discussion by Jimmy Skunk on the advantages of defensive weaponry. (Summary by John Lieder.)
