Field Notes

Description:

Not 100% sure that it's a striped skunk, but I think they're the most common skunk around here. My neighbor was a few feet away, and prior to this, the neighbor's dogs had been giving it a hard time, so that's why the tail's up. Luckily, none of us got sprayed.

Habitat:

My yard!

Notes:

Sorry for the bad quality. My on-camera flash wasn't working well and I had to edit a lot.

Also, I put this under the "Hunters and Animal Food Habits" mission, because it was most likely out hunting since it was at night.
