Dragoo Institute for the Betterment of Skunks

and Skunk Reputations

          The primary goal of this site is to provide basic biological information pertaining to wild skunks. We will attempt to provide our understanding of placement of skunks on the tree of life (evolutionary relationship to weasels and other carnivores), as well as the natural history and general biology of the various species of skunks. We also will try to provide information on how to deal with "problem" animals. We will provide our sources for the information either by referencing the scientific literature or web sites made available by researchers or organizations. The links on the left side of these pages point to the various topics related to skunk biology.

          This site does not offer information regarding pet skunks. If you require information on pet skunks please check out these links.

          This site will be growing over the next few weeks and months (and years). We will be adding pictures and possibly video of various skunk species. Currently we are trying to compress the images to downloadable sizes (remember, we are biologists not web masters). If you don't find what you are looking for here than please feel free to contact the Dragoo Institute ().
