eastern spotted skunks
Main Menu. EASTERN SPOTTED SKUNK. This small (16-23 inches) skunk is more weasel-like in body shape than the more familiar striped skunk. The Spotted Skunk's stripes are broken in pattern, giving it a spotted appearance. Spotted Skunks seem to prefer forest edges and upland prairie grasslands, especially where rock outcrops and shrub clumps are present.
