Remarkable Facts About Striped Skunks

Striped skunks use their distinctive high-contrast black and white coat patterns as a warning signal to potential predators in the wild. Before resorting to their famous foul-smelling spray, skunks perform warning displays such as stomping their front feet and raising their bushy tails. They are nocturnal foragers that use long claws to dig for grubs and soil insects.
