The Hidden Side of a Striped Skunk - A Rare Glimpse from Below
EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph showcases a Striped Skunk (Mephitis mephitis) from an unusual perspective, revealing its intricately patterned underbelly. Captured in its natural habitat in Minnesota, United States, this solitary mammal is a native of North America and is well-known for its distinctive black and white stripes. The Striped Skunk is the largest skunk species in North America, measuring between 20 to 30 inches in length and weighing up to 14 pounds. They are omnivorous animals, feeding on a variety of foods including insects, fruits, and vegetables. Their powerful sense of smell is their most notable feature, allowing them to detect prey and predators from great distances. Despite their fearsome reputation, Striped Skunks are generally shy and elusive creatures. They spray a foul-smelling liquid as a defense mechanism when threatened, which can reach up to 10 feet in distance. This photograph offers a rare and fascinating glimpse into the world of these intriguing animals, highlighting their unique features and the beauty of their natural habitat.
