Mephitis mephitis
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. About the size of a house cat, it weighs 2.5 to 14 pounds
Woods, grasslands, and agricultural lands are a few primary habitats in which striped skunks preside.
