Habitat

HABITAT
Skunks live in grasslands, high rocky areas, desserts, even abandonde places (houses, buildings, ect..). Some like to build their own burrows and dens. Because they have very long nails for digging and eating, skunks mainly live by them selves and love doing so, and fallen trees, hollows, and also live and climb trees. On the other hand when it comes to mating, season they tend to live with their mates and (or) there babies to.

When living underground they bring grass and leaves like a blanket for warmth, when they have burows they make sure they have 5 door openings just incase an emerancy. Winter is a pefect season for skunks to be underground, skunks tend to share their dens with other animals like small rabbites and small racoons, they puffer underground because of the well drained soil down there. Dens are great to store food for the animals, and so other animals cant have access to the food. And sometimes the skunk might be too lazy and want to (rent) a dens, that other mamals have been before. To make it more like home the skunk will urinate on the entrance of a skunk, so other animals know its their territory.

DURING THE SEASONS
During winter they will sleep underground for warmth and comfort, Fall still the same but they come out more then usual. And summer time and spring they will be above ground in shrublands,trees, fallen trees, nest and bushes, even open lands. Somtimes when its hot they will go and build a home near water, and come out during night and hunt because its so hot in daytime and because preditors.
