Spilogale putorius (Eastern Spotted Skunk): Narrative
These skunks are omnivorous. Their natural food sources depend on the seasons: In winter, they eat cottontails and corn; in spring, native field mice and insects; in summer, insects with small amounts of fruits, birds, and birds' eggs, and in fall, predominately insects. They are excellent rodent catchers. S.putorius has also been known to knock down beehives for the honeycomb, despite the many bee stings the animal receives. [eng] |

Western Spotted Skunk (Spilogale gracilis)
This skunk occupies a variety of habitats and often occurs in close association with man. In Texas, most records of capture indicate that it is most often associated with rocky bluffs, cliffs, and brush-bordered canyon streams or stream beds. [eng] |

Eastern Spotted Skunk (Spilogale putorius)
Spotted skunks are much more active and alert than any of the other skunks. They occur largely in wooded areas and tall-grass prairies, preferring rocky canyons and outcrops when such sites are available. They are less common in the short-grass plains. In areas where common, they have a tendency to live around farmyards and often den under or in buildings. [eng] |
