However, these animals have some beneficial habits; they kill insects and rodents. The striped skunk (Mephitis mephitis) is the most common species in California, although the smaller spotted skunk (Spilogale putorius) can be a local problem around dwellings. The striped skunk is a house-cat sized animal (4 -10 Ibs.) that has long black fur with two variable broad white stripes down the back. The head is triangular; the tail large and bushy. The strong musk characteristic of skunks is expelled from two scent glands near the anus.
Biology
Damage
Skunks become a problem when their activities conflict with human interests. When skunks take shelter under homes, decks, or in garages, their presence is not usually tolerated by occupants of the building. All skunks have the ability to discharge a nauseating musk from their anal glands. They are capable of spraying their musk several times with accuracy to about 10 feet. Confrontation with pets often results in the pet being sprayed or bitten.

Skunk lover says law stinks
New rule forbids importing animals from other states, but Alabama lacks breeders.
By PATRICIA CAVANAUGH STUMB
Times Staff Writer

patricias@htimes.com
To be loved by a skunk is to be truly loved. So says Beckie Mills, a Hazel Green woman who has been raising and adoring domesticated, descented skunks for the past 15 years. As president of the Alabama Skunks as Pets organization, she preaches the joy of skunk-rearing. ''They're just so sweet, cuddly and loyal,'' Mills said, feeding her smoke-colored skunk named Myrrh vanilla wafers and dried cranberries from her hand. ''They like to sleep all curled up around your neck. ''And they're entertaining. Watching them slide across the floor and play is better than a movie.'' But the problem is, a fairly new regulation imposed by the Alabama Division of Wildlife and Freshwater Fisheries restricts the sale or importation of skunks from other states. Mills said Alabama has no licensed domesticated skunk breeders. If Alabamians want skunks as pets, they are pretty much out of luck. ''And you certainly don't want to capture one from the wild to raise it,'' Mills said. ''Wild skunks carry diseases.''

HEALTH ADVISORY: CLUSTER OF RABID SKUNKS FOUND IN BRONX - HEALTH DEPARTMENT REMINDS NEW YORKERS TO AVOID CONTACT WITH WILD AND STRAY ANIMALS
New York City Health Commissioner Neal L. Cohen, M.D., advised New Yorkers that three skunks, all captured in the Fordham area in the Bronx over the past month, have tested positive for rabies . While no person is known to have been exposed to these animals, Dr. Cohen urged any person who observes skunks, raccoons or bats exhibiting abnormal behavior such as attempting to interact with pets, stumbling, appearing disoriented or sick-looking to make a report to the Police or the New York City Health Department. The three skunks tested positive for rabies on October 24, October 3, and September 29. Dr. Cohen said, "This cluster of animal rabies cases in the Fordham area of the Bronx indicate that individuals living in this area should take extra precautions to avoid wild or stray animals that could carry rabies. Additionally, domesticated pets such as dogs and cats, which have not been protected by rabies vaccinations can also contract rabies from encounters with wild animals," Dr. Cohen said. "Unimmunized pets can pass rabies along to their human owners. Dog owners in particular should take seriously their responsibility and make sure dogs are licensed with the Health Department. Dog and cat owners should also make sure their pets are currently vaccinated against rabies because this can protect not only your pets' life, but also your own."

64. Georgia Wildlife Web Site; Mammals: Mephitis Mephitis
Rabies sometimes remains in a latent form in skunks only to become reactivated later.In the wild, the average lifespan of a Striped Skunk is about 3 years.
http://museum.nhm.uga.edu/gawildlife/mammals/Carnivora/Mustelidae/mmephitis.html
Striped Skunk, Mephitis mephitis Scientific name: The genus and species names are the Latin word mephitis (bad odor), referring to the offensive smell of the anal gland secretions which the Striped Skunk uses as a defensive mechanism. Phylum: Chordata
Subphylum: Vertebrata
Class: Mammalia
Order: carnivora
Family: Mustelidae Size: The Striped Skunk is about the size of a domestic house cat, measuring 53.3 - 71.1 cm (21 - 28 in) in total length and weighing from 1.4 - 5 kg (3 - 11 lbs).
Color: The Striped Skunk is covered in long black fur, except for a white stripe from the tip of the nose to the forehead, and a white patch on top of the head that extends to the shoulders, then divides into two stripes down the length of the back. The tail is black, tipped with white hairs.
Other things to look for: The Striped Skunk is most well known for its chemical warfare in defense against predators. The strong-smelling musk is produced in two glands on either side of the anus. The musk is sprayed by voluntary contraction of muscles. This musk can be expelled as either a fine mist or as droplets for distances up to 3.7 m (12 ft). Musk glands contain enough musk for 5 - 6 sprays and refill within a week. Exposure to the musk may cause nausea, swelling of the nose lining, and eye irritation. Breeding takes place from February to April. A litter of 4-11 young are born in a burrow after a gestation averaging 63 days. The young skunks, called "kittens," begin to eat solid food at 6 - 7 weeks of age and leave the den with the female on nightly foraging trips when they are weaned at 8 weeks of age. Kittens leave the care of the female at 12 - 14 weeks of age and disperse to live on their own.

This message is for all of us who spend time living, hiking, camping, backpacking, rafting, fishing and so on...in areas where wild animals make their homes. Please help distribute this message: IT IS ABSOLUTELY ESSENTIAL TO THE HEALTH AND WELL-BEING OF WILD ANIMALS THAT THEY ARE NOT FED BY HUMANS.
This includes bears, squirrels, deer, birds, raccoons, marmots...all wildlife. Rangers, naturalists,
biologists and caretakers in virtually every preserve and park in America can attest to animals dying because of being fed by humans. In general, feeding is unhealthy for native wildlife for many reasons, including the following:
Every year, bears are killed by various government agencies because they have become habituated to humans and human food. This is a direct result of careless humans creating so-called "problem bears". There is many thousands of dollars in damage annually to vehicles, camping gear and backpacking gear by bears who have learned to associate humans' possessions with food availability. If you live in wildlife habitat, please secure garbage, pet food and other food sources. When you are picnicking, car camping and backpacking, please use the food storage methods recommended by the local agency . If you are planning to backpack and are not able to use a bear-resistant food container or use locally-recommended food storage methods, please do not go.

From wild cheers to wildlife
Gwynn and Jones share their Mission Valley memories By Bill Center
UNION-TRIBUNE STAFF WRITER September 26, 2003
Union-Tribune file Pitcher Randy Jones spent eight seasons with the San Diego Padres.
B aseball at Qualcomm Stadium is about more than wins, losses and the occasional pennant run. Jones agrees. Up until then, except for the nights when Jones pitched, there was more to laugh at than cheer when it came to Padres baseball. Gwynn's funniest memory is the skunk that decided to stroll across the outfield during the late 1980s. Skunks aren't the only varmints that have worked Qualcomm Stadium. Gwynn, of course, played on teams that reached heights never imagined by the Padres of Jones' day. But Gwynn also endured the Fire Sale and more than his share of rebuilding. But Gwynn will take more than memories from Qualcomm Stadium after Sunday's finale. At least one of the mounds is following Gwynn to San Diego State.

PET SKUNKS MURDERED BY GOVERNMENT EMPLOYEES!
Sound unbelievable?
Imagine this:
You take your children to a Walt Disney movie on a Saturday afternoon.
In the opening scene, a government officer knocks on the door of an average American home. Upon answering the door, the family is told by the officer that he was informed that they had a pet skunk and that all pet skunks were born with rabies (not true!!).
Indeed the family did have a pet skunk purchased from a breeder and it had been surgically descented, spayed, given all of the canine and feline inoculations and been certified by a veterinarian to be in perfect health and free of rabies.
The agent still demanded they turn over their skunk! They did!
The agent then, on the spot, executed the skunk by breaking its neck - right in front of the children. He then told the kids that it was their fault their skunk was dead. He also told them that he would return later for the rest of their pets. The end!
Yes this was only a pretend movie scene and not the type of thing that would ever happen here in America. Right?
Wrong! As sickening as that scene may have been to you, actual similar cases are being reported right here and nothing is being done about it. But, if this scene had appeared in a Disney movie, the entire American public would have been outraged and something would have been done about it immediately.

TAMING ONESELF
By Daniel Smiley WILD FRIENDS What a thrill it is to have a wild animal or bird come and hesitatingly eat out of your hand! Perhaps you would not choose to have this experience with a skunk, but suppose one chose you as a friend. Let us assume that you are staying at a cabin in the woods during a summer vacation. You notice that a beautiful shiny black skunk with a neat white stripe down his back comes regularly at dusk to visit the garbage pail, attracted by its enticing smells. At first you observe through the window, but soon you try standing on the porch (with the door open for quick retreat). The skunk may cast a glance in your direction. But hunger overcomes caution, and it goes on to seek supper (or is it breakfast if you sleep through the daytime?). A night or two later you gain in boldness and try tossing a piece of bread toward your visitor. The reaction is immediate. He faces you, his body stiffens, and the tail goes up. Danger! But you stay quiet. Very soon that smell of food wins over fear, and he ambles over to sample it. Now you are caught. Soon you are on the ground to throw the tid-bit. Gradually you toss it less far, so that Mr. Skunk has to walk closer to you. Finally the day comes when you hold out the food and your

Wild Animal Training Immunosuppression / Immunocompromise (impaired immune system):  This can be congenital or caused by HIV/AIDS or other diseases, cortisone or other medications, chemotherapy, radiation, etc.  Certain animal exposures and zoonoses can be very serious (or sometimes fatal) for persons with reduced immunity to disease If you suspect your immune system may be abnormal, seek immediate medical attention for diagnosis, treatment and determination as to whether or not animal exposure is safe for you. Wild Animal Exposures and Rabies… Rabid or diseased wild animals often show changes in behavior, becoming either docile, vicious, or unafraid of humans.  Normally-nocturnal animals that are out in the daytime OR domestic free-ranging pets behaving strangely may be rabid.  If sighted, try to “distance” yourself from wild animals that appear sick, dying, or exhibiting unusual behavior (but don’t run) and report them to a control agency if a threat to humans.  “University Facilities” Department can be called to remove such animals (skunks, etc.) from Clemson property. Primary reservoirs are foxes, bats, raccoons, skunks.  The Great Horned Owl may shed the virus in its droppings after consuming an infected skunk. Rodents and lagomorphs are unlikely to have rabies.

Co-Existing With Skunks
If you mention the word "skunk" to someone, the word "stinky" can't be far behind. However, most people know little else about skunks other than the fact that they can spray when threatened. There are two types of skunks in our area: the striped skunk and the spotted skunk. The striped skunk is more commonly seen than the spotted skunk and is about the size of the average house cat, with the spotted skunk being about half the size. One is black with white stripes and one is black with white spots; both have bushy tails and are strictly nocturnal. Skunks will choose dark, quiet places to sleep in the daytime and forage for food at night. Being scavengers, their diet includes fruit, berries, eggs, rodents, scorpions, black widow spiders, dog and cat food and grubs. They are beneficial to a neighborhood due to the number of destructive insects and rodents they consume. An area inhabited by skunks will not have and abundance of mice, rats, spiders or scorpions. Skunk release Skunk spray is oil based. The odor will cling and linger. Inanimate objects that have been sprayed can be washed with a bleach water solution. For pets and people, vinegar and water baths will help, as will several enzymatic odor control products available at pet supply stores or though veterinarians. Time and fresh air also will eventually cause the odor to completely dissipate. The key is not to anger the skunk so much that he feels he must spray. If you encounter a skunk, back off. Warning behaviors will be exhibited by the skunk prior to spraying. In the striped skunk, you will observe foot-stomping and backing up, followed by a quick reversal, a raised tail and a spray. The tricky little spotted skunk will also stomp his feet, back up, but then do a handstand - quickly throwing his rear end over his head and spraying while still facing you.

74. Striped Skunk
Predators of the Striped Skunk are wild cats, coyotes, foxes, and owls. Matingbegins in February. Striped skunks can live two years out in the wild.
http://ccwild.cbi.tamucc.edu/naturalhistory/striped_skunk/ssacc.htm
The scientific name for the Striped Skunk, Mephitis mephitis, means "poison vapor". This skunk is similar in size to the house cat and stout-bodied. The Striped Skunk is black in color with two white stripes that extend from the head to the tail. The fur is long, coarse, and oily. The tail is long and bushy with the tip of tail black. This skunk has short rounded ears and small eyes. The toes on the front feet are armed with claws. Scent glands protrude through the anus. Males are 15 % larger than females. Striped Skunks are the most common of skunks in North America. They prefer brushy areas and seek refuge in burrows of armadillos, foxes, coyotes, and badgers. Skunks are also capable of digging their own burrows. The Striped Skunk is nocturnal and retires early in the morning to its hideout and does not venture forth until late in the day. During the winter several individuals or a family will occupy a den. Throughout the warmer months they live above ground in thickets and meadows. These skunks remain in the same resting-place for one or two days and then move to another spot. Striped Skunks are omnivorous and feed on various insects, reptiles, small mammals, birds, and vegetation. The olfactory sense of the skunk is poor compared to that of other wild animals. This is probably necessary so that it can withstand its

Our "Wild" Neighbors: Reflections on Teaching for Sustainability
by Tre McCarney
Tre McCarney is a Shelburne Farms educator working with the Vermont Education for Sustainability Project on its first Sustainable School, Champlain Elementary School in Burlington, Vermont.

The bitter cold of early winter is only a memory on this brilliant morning as the students plod forward. We take the trail along Engelsby Brook and catch glimpses of signs left in the snow. A few of the rosy cheeked students observe a set of tracks and predict they were made by a squirrel because of the pattern left in the snow, the size of the feet and how deep the tracks are. We march on.
An enthusiastic student on my heels discovers several gray downy feathers stuck in the snow in the middle of the trail. The students unanimously agree it is a kill. The idea of a real kill on their school grounds consumes them with excitement. Their euphoria is heightened when they get a whiff of another clue left by a creature living in their community. The aroma of this black-and-white-striped animal is a sure sign that spring is almost here, for they know that skunks are dormant much of the winter. As we continue our quest, I hear the students conversing

PHOTOS BY CHAS J. DEES
"H ell is paved with good intentions, not with bad ones." — George Bernard Shaw Well-intentioned though you may be, you're probably not helping that squirrel that's been eating peanuts from your hand on your backyard deck for the past few years. While it's legal to feed them, "if you do, you need to be willing to do it for the life of the animal, especially if you start when they're real young because they don't learn how to survive on their own," said Sgt. Ken Swiderski of the Illinois Conservation Police. Seeing an animal starve because you're no longer feeding it, and it can't feed on its own, might cause you to take another step on the road to perdition: bringing it inside as a house pet. "If you try to cage wild animals or bring them inside, that's taking them into your possession and that's illegal," Swiderski said. "They're not meant to be pets. They're not domesticated animals." In his 24 years as a Conservation Police Officer, Swiderski has seen plenty of people attempt to domesticate wild animals. "We had Moses the squirrel a few years ago that ended up in court with the lady bringing in pictures of the squirrel wearing a Santa Claus hat," Swiderski said.

Because our valley provides excellent homes for many birds, you can find anything from a tiny hummingbird to large birds of prey in our backyards and city parks. Mostly, however, you will see songbirds such as House Finches, Sparrows, Towhees, Robins, Scrub Jays, or Mockingbirds living in your backyard. Despite the fact that your yard supports these birds so well, problems occasionally arise with them living so close to people. For example, what would you do with a bird your cat brought to you? What about the bird that repeatedly flies into your living room window? Hopefully these suggestions will help prevent and solve such problems.
