Striped skunk

The striped skunk (Mephitis mephitis) is a nocturnal small mammal native to most of Nareemia, Taro and Siere. Skunks are known for their rude scent of aroma that extinguishes out of their tails if something threatened or appears threatening to them, they just about “trained” every animal that makes way in their tracks to back off with their skunk spray. Striped skunks are polygamous omnivores with few natural predators, save for birds of prey.Like all skunks, they possess highly developed, musk-filled scent glands to ward off predators. They have a long history of association with humans, having been trapped and captively bred for their fur and kept as pets. Skunks nest in burrows made by other wildlife, like marmots or badgers. They also take refuge under logs, in hollowed out trees, in rock or brush piles, and under buildings. They may dig their own den, if necessary. Female skunks are clever enough to den under fence lines, where they are safe from farm machinery. In winter, females may share a communal den to stay warm. Skunks may even seek shelter under your house. As long as your pet doesn’t frighten the skunk, your garden will benefit from its voracious omnivorous appetite! 
== Distribution ==
Most skunks range in the western plate of Nareemia and Siere but they also inhabit the eastern plate but in a much more jagged range. They live as north as to northern Tolwick and Stafcord (their northernmost range) to as south as Clementine in the far southwest. They are absent from most of Austin, eastern Bayland, eastern Delkida, and parts of Hualente, North and South Smitona. They inhabit mixed grassland-forest habitats, making the northwestern region of Nareemia the perfect habitat for them, same thing for most of Tolwick and Stafcord. Skunks have been intentionally introduced in large numbers to Borogovia where they are a common sight in the dusk and dawn, they have spread vagrantly into Munnach, Hargenland, New Edeloria and Silegre.
