STRIPED SKUNK FULL-BODY MOUNTMephitis mephitis
Mainly crepuscular and secretive, this animal is a good one to stay away from because of the scent glands from which it will excrete an awful-smelling odor when threatened; sometimes they will even perform a handstand to get a better field of spray. They can carry rabies and are generally considered a pest, but are sometimes domesticated as pets in parts of Europe and the U.S. This is a competition-quality mount done by a top-notch taxidermist who spent a lot of time de-odorizing the mount and working on the fine details of the face to capture a life-like pose. A wonderful conversation piece, it measures 25 inches long and 12½ inches high on a diorama base.
