Description
Hog-nosed skunk skull replica measures 3.1 x 1.8 x 1.3 inches. The Conepatus leuconotus is a museum-quality polyurethane resin cast of a California Academy of Sciences specimen. 2-part skull (separate cranium and mandible). 1:1 scale. Made in USA.
The hog-nosed skunk is native to the desert southwest of North America. They live in wooded areas from Southern Colorado to Argentina. They occupy canyons, rocky mountain slopes, brush habitats, stream beds, and semi-open grasslands.
These omnivores feed on a variety of plants, insects, carrion, and small vertebrates. They use their long, naked snout to root out beetles, grubs, and larvae from the ground.
Like most skunks, they can emit a noxious very foul-smelling spray when defending themselves from danger. They have black and white warning colors and are strictly nocturnal creatures.
Females give birth to a litter of one to five young after a gestation of about 60 days. They most often produce two to for kits per litter.
They create their own burrows within a bank, beneath a rock, or under tree roots. They do not hesitate to take possession of deserted burrows from other animals. Infrequent sightings of this animal raises concern over its conservation status.
