Mephitis mephitis
Black with white stripped skunk in good health.
Edge of woods and prairie
While awake and alert, this skunk was not eager to move, and did not seem alarmed when we were around 6 ft away.

All of that is fine and well, but mobile on a phone, it's challenging enough to get the basics in so I can later flesh out the details. I usually do that, then flesh it out later when I can do proper searches.
Hi Asrugen, nice spot!
Where you know the common name of the species, please could you look up & add the scientific name - it is very easy to do on a Google search. That takes the spotting out of the "unknown" list. We would also appreciate it if you could add a reference link & complete some info in the details field for your spottings.
