SKUNK – The American Polecat: Everything That You Wanted To Know, And What You Could Care Less About - 8638

Skunks are notorious for their fragrance, which they use as a defensive weapon. The weapon of choice is their spray, a mixture of sulfur-containing chemicals with an offensive and disgusting odor. Did you know that a skunk's spray is strong enough to fend off bears and other potential attackers? This tiny mammal, the size of a cat, is so on target that it can hit its attacker with a high degree of accuracy as far as ten feet away. Aside from the smell, the spray can cause irritation and even temporary blindness. Non-withstanding these facts, skunks are reluctant to use their scent weapon. They will even warn possible predators when threatened by performing an elaborate routine of hisses, foot-stamping, raising their tail, and backing up before resorting to spraying.
