Meet the Western spotted skunk: Your typical striped skunk – but with a little extra pizazz ✨ Western spotted skunks are the smaller, turbo-charged cousins of the striped skunk. They spend their days sleeping in their dens, but come nightfall, you’ll find them boogieing down the trail foraging for berries, roots, rodents, insects, amphibians and small mammals. They have a characteristic white spot between their eyes and a small white patch below each ear. Although their handstands are pretty ado

Happy Skunk Day! 🦨 Florida is home to 2 species: the Striped Skunk like Aniwye, and the Spotted Skunk which is considered a Species of Greatest Conservation Need by the Florida Fish & Wildlife Commission. They are not as commonly seen as the Striped Skunk so FWC is closely monitoring their populations.
