Striped Skunk

Description:

The striped skunk has a black body with a white stripe along each side of its body; the two stripes join into a broader white area at the nape. Its forehead has a narrow white stripe. Similar in size to a domestic cat, this species is the heaviest species of skunk, though it is not as long (in body or tail length) as the American hog-nosed skunk.

Notes:

So I saw an animal crossing the road hoping it was a skunk so I chased it down with my car and pulled off the road. I ran up to where I last saw him and there he was trying to escape into the rocks next to the shore of the ocean. I shouted "Hey!" and he turned for a second so I could take a shot before he took off again. I kept chasing him down but he didn't stop and I glimpsed him sinking into the rocks. Happy Earth Day :)
