The spotted skunk is a small mammal belonging to the skunk family, known for its unique spotted fur pattern and defensive spraying behavior. It has a black fur coat with white spots on its body and tail, and it is smaller than the more commonly recognized striped skunk. Spotted skunks have a slender body with short legs and are agile climbers. They are omnivorous, feeding on a variety of insects, small mammals, fruits, and vegetables. When threatened, spotted skunks can spray a noxious-smelling liquid from their scent glands, similar to other skunk species, as a means of defense. They are primarily nocturnal animals and are known for their elusive and secretive behavior.
