Skunks are related to weasels, badgers, otters and wolverines, but are in their own family. They are well known for their ability to spray a foul-smelling liquid as a defense mechanism. Their striking white and black fur pattern warns other animals to steer clear, lest they be sprayed with the smelly, difficult to remove liquid.

History: The Striped Skunk is found almost everywhere in the United States, as well as through much of Canada and northeastern Mexico. When threatened, the Skunk will raise its bushy tail in a defensive posture and, if thats not enough, spray a chemical mixture from its scent glands. This foul-smelling spray can travel several meters and even cause temporary burning if it reaches the eyes.

Size: This stinky Skunk toy figure doesn’t really smell, unlike it’s real life counterpart. It is 2 inches long and 2 inches tall to the tip of its raised tail. Its a little smaller than a Post-It note.
