Spotted skunk baby
Spilogale gracilis
44.504, -124.022
Field Notes
Description:
small black mammal with white patches (rather than lengthwise stripes of the striped skunk)
Habitat:
temperate rain forest
Notes:
This one wasn't old enough to spray, but was rapidly developing the signs: thumping with one foot, then doing a handstand with tail up. They can squeeze through the tiniest of spaces. Locals call them (erroneously) "civet cats".
