Skunks are mammals best known for their ability to secrete a liquid with a strong, foul-smelling odor. General appearance ranges from species to species, from black-and-white to brown or cream colored. Skunks belong to the family Mephitidae and to the order Carnivora. There are 10 species of skunks, which are divided into four genera: Mephitis (hooded and striped skunks, two species), Spilogale (spotted skunks, two species), Mydaus (stink badgers, two species), and Conepatus (hog-nosed skunks, four species). The two skunk species in the Mydaus genus inhabit Indonesia and the Philippines; all other skunks inhabit the Americas from Canada to central South America. Skunks were classified as a subfamily within the family Mustelidae, which includes ferrets, weasels, otters and badgers. However, recent genetic evidence suggests that the skunks are not as closely related to the mustelids as previously thought; they are now classified in their own family. From Wikipedia under the

Q. My son's dog has managed to get himself sprayed by a skunk, and slept on their couch. Does anyone know how to get this smell out of the couch? Asked by cms_38us2002 - Mon Apr 16 12:18:43 2007 - - 13 Answers - 0 Comments A. According to the dog groomer, skunks spray an oil and if you use any kind of water or liquid on it, the oil will go deeper. That's why you can't wash a dog who got skunked without making it worse. What she suggested to us when our carpets were smelled up by a skunked dog is to get the really heavy duty Arm & Hammer carpet powder. Sprinkle on half a box or more and just leave it. The baking powder in there will soak up as much of the skunk oil as humanly possible. Then vacuum it up. Repeat it a few times a week until the smell is permanently gone. It did keep us from having to replace a room full of carpet and took about a week before all lingering reminders were gone.

Q. I live in a small town and we have a skunk that is digging holes in our yard searching for grub worms. How do I get it to stop doing that? Asked by Diogenes - Sun Jun 10 00:17:03 2007 - - 7 Answers - 0 Comments A. Ok try this, it worked for me. I had a skunk under my back concrete porch and the dog kept surprising it - Getting skunked at night. We were told to do the following: 1) Get a rag and tie it in a knot 2) Put that in a ziplock bag 3) Pour ammonia on so it soaks it all up but not so much that the bag has a puddle in it. 4) Ziplock the bag and tie a long rope on it 5) Poke holes in the bag and toss it into the skunks den during the daytime. 6) Put flour down at the front of the hole. The idea is that the skunk will think some other noisy stinky animal has taken over its den and since it won't go away the skunk will leave. You'll know the skunk has left when you stop seeing footprints in the flour in the morning. Then use the rope to… [cont.] Answered by Rob - Sun Jun 10 00:35:02 2007 From Yahoo Answer Search: "Skunk" |
