Explore the habitats of North and South America with the "Skunk" coloring category. Skunks are medium-sized mammals known for their distinctive black and white coloration and their potent defensive spray. They have a stocky body, short legs, and a bushy tail. Skunks are omnivores, feeding on a variety of food, including insects, small vertebrates, fruits, and carrion. Skunks are primarily nocturnal and have excellent hearing and sense of smell. They use their spray as a defense mechanism when threatened, emitting a strong-smelling liquid from their anal glands. Skunks play important roles in controlling pest populations and are valued for their fur. Did you know that not all skunks have the same coloration? Some species have different patterns, such as striped skunks or spotted skunks. Discover the world of skunks and let your colors capture their unique markings and their cautionary defense strategy.
