LE PEW (Striped Skunk)-Origianl Artwork by Vickie Leigh Krudwig
Four kinds of skunk live in Colorado. The striped skunk is the most common. They live high in the mountains and just about anywhere in Colorado. They are black with long white stripes down the sides of their body. Like raccoons, skunks are mostly nocturnal, and are omnivorous. They eat baby mice, grubs, insects, birds, eggs, and garbage. Some skunks even raid beehives. These creatures may live under sheds, foundations, and in piles of lumber. Skunks have scent glands under their tail. If they feel threatened, they will squirt you with an awful odor. Like raccoons, skunks can carry rabies. Be safe and avoid contact with them.
