Eastern Hog-nosed Skunk (Conepatus leuconotus)
Little is known about the habitat or habits of this skunk, but it is presumed they are similar to those of the common hog-nosed skunk, C. mesoleucus. The species has been collected or observed in the following habitat types in South Texas: live oak brush, mesquite brushland, and improved pasture within semi-open native grassland. The stomachs of three specimens collected in Veracruz, Mexico, were filled with insect remains, but the skunks are also thought to eat small vertebrates and fruit.

Common Hog-nosed Skunk (Conepatus mesoleucus)
These white-backed skunks inhabit mainly the foothills and partly timbered or brushy sections of their general range. They usually avoid hot desert areas and heavy stands of timber. The largest populations occur in rocky, sparsely timbered areas such as the Edwards Plateau of central Texas and the Chisos, Davis, and Guadalupe mountains of Trans-Pecos Texas. [eng]
