Bat's Skunk Facts
Bat's Skunk Facts
A plush skunk will travel from room to room during our reading window. While the skunk is in their classroom, the class is invited to research a fact about skunks. The facts will be displayed on a bulletin board in the library and added to this web page.
Mrs. Stegmann's Class - Because of their stinky, oily spray, skunks have few predators. The smell takes days to go away.
Mrs. Peterson's Class - Skunks can spray 10 to 15 feet away.
Mrs. Combs' Class - Baby skunks weigh about 1 ounce when they are born.
Mrs. Whitaker's Class - Not all skunks are striped...some have spots or are almost all white.
Mrs. Wehmeyer's Class - Did you know... when a young skunk hibernates it wakes up as a grown up?
Mrs Gibbs' Class - Spotted skunks are the smartest skunks. Spotted skunks are the smallest skunk species. Skunks live in deserts and woodlands.
Ms. Cerutti's Class - Skunks can shoot their smelly musk 10 to 15 feet.
Ms. Snider's Class - When skunks are babies they can't spray!
Mrs. Heath's Class - Skunks find food at night.
Ms. Murphy's Class - No two spotted skunks have the exact same spot pattern. The patterns are as individual as fingerprints on humans!
Mrs. Tusler's Class - Skunks can spray 10-15 feet (as long as a truck)! Yikes!
Mrs. Westerfeld's Class - Skunks eat mice, bugs, and plants.
Mrs. Simmon's Class - Kits spray a stinky spray when they are scared or in danger.
Mrs. Salyer's Class - Did you know that skunks can eat cheeseburgers?
Ms. Pardo's Class - The skunk has 2 layers of fur. The outer layer has very long hairs. Female skunks may share a den in cold weather.
Mrs Beem's Class - Father skunks do not help raise their offspring.
Ms. Cunningham's Class - Skunks can spray stinky spray at you - watch out!!
Miss Poertner's Class - One of the most powerful defense weapons - a yellow musk. Skunks live in open fields and in bushy or wooded areas. Skunks are a mammal. The skunk's scientific name is Mephitis Mephitis which means bad smell. The white stripe on the a skunk warns others to stay away. Skunks are omnivores. They eat plants and animals.
Mrs. Mulvaney's Class - Skunk babies are called kits. Skunks sleep during the day.
Miss Hamilton's Class - Horned owls prey on skunks because they can't smell well.
Mrs. Fisher's Class - The hog nosed skunk got its peculiar name from its large nose, which looks like a pig's snout.
