Frequently Asked Questions About Skunks
What do skunks look like? The striped skunk, part of the weasel family, is a stoutly-built, short-limbed animal with a small, conical head and a long heavily furred tail. Adult males are 10% larger than females, with both sexes measuring between 20-30 inch in total body length and usually weighing 4.0-9.9 lbs, though some may weigh 12 lbs. The color patterns of the fur vary greatly, but generally consist of a black base with a white stripe extending from the head which divides along the shoulders, continuing along the flanks to the rump and tail. Some specimens have a white patch on the chest, while others bear white stripes on the outer surface of the front limbs.

Frequently Asked Questions About Raccoons
What do raccoons look like? Raccoons are a nocturnal medium sized mammal but may be active in the day between spring and summer when the females are nursing and raising their young. Adults grow to between 2 and 3 feet in length and they weigh between 10 and 30 pounds. Raccoons have many easily recognizable features including the black "mask" of fur that covers their eyes, their fluffy black and gray ringed tail, and their hunched appearance that is caused by their hind legs being longer than their front legs. The raccoon's body is covered in a salt and peppered colored fur.
Frequently Asked Questions About Opossums
What do opossums look like? Adult opossums grow to between 15 and 20 inches in length not including their tail, (with tail about 40") and weigh between 4 and 14 pounds. They have a long pointed face and ears that lack any hair. Opossums have a thick undercoat of fur that is peppered with long guard hairs; they are whitish-gray in color. Opossums are the only marsupial found in North America, and therefore they carry their young in a pouch. They are also well-known for being able to use their long, hairless tail to hang upside down from trees. When frightened they look like they are snarling at you with their 50 teeth displaying prominent canine fangs, hiss, growl, screech and ooze a yellow-green stinky fluid from their anal glands. They could also "play dead" so don't go over and casually pick it up or try move it without essential safety precautions.
