#striped skunk
Mephitis mephitis, Palo Alto, CA
Silicon Valley in California is known for its high tech and innovation. With tech startups popping up everywhere comes development. Unfortunately all the innovation comes at a cost. Skunks and gray foxes in the Palo Alto Baylands sometimes have nowhere else to go, but into office parking lots and lawns. Here a stripped skunk forages through the grass looking for insects. The grass is freshly cut, and just a few feet away is the entrance of a building and a parking lot. Unfortunately skunks are looked upon as a problem and aren’t loved by the companies which have taken over their territories.

Neat.
This sweet face is Sebastian, a Striped Skunk! Did you know there’s only ten species of skunks? Almost all of them live in North and Central America!
