Miniature Skunk | Skunk Model | Toy Skunk | Skunk Figurine - 2.75in. L x 1in. W x 2.37in. H - 1 Piece (sl100411)

This is a skunk figurine from Safari Ltd.(r). Skunks are related to weasels, badgers, otters and wolverines, but are in their own family. They are well known for their ability to spray a foul-smelling liquid as a defense mechanism. Their striking white and black fur pattern warns other animals to steer clear, lest they be sprayed with the smelly, difficult to remove liquid. The Striped Skunk is found almost everywhere in the United States, as well as through much of Canada and northeastern Mexico. When threatened, the Skunk will raise its bushy tail in a defensive posture and, if that’s not enough, spray a chemical mixture from its scent glands. This foul-smelling spray can travel several meters and even cause temporary burning if it reaches the eyes. Watch out! This miniature Skunk is ready to spray! With its tail raised and its back arched, this toy skunk is ready to let loose on anything or anyone who won’t back off. But don’t worry – this skunk model smells far better than the real thing. This mini skunk is 2.75in. L x 1in. W x 2.37in. H and is non-toxic and BPA free. Sold as one piece per package.
