Skunks come in all stripes and through our Skunk Observation Project, FWC biologists have received many excellent submissions. The five skunks here, identified by their stripes, all visited the same burrow in Alachua County. It’s a great example of the variety of striped skunk pelage patterns, from mostly white to mostly black!
