Four Skunk Species Illustrated: Striped, Spotted, Hog-nosed, and Hooded #1924582 (License: Personal Use)

This black-and-white scientific illustration depicts four skunk species-Striped, Spotted, Hog-nosed, and Hooded-each labeled and drawn to highlight diagnostic features such as stripe continuity, spot arrangement, snout shape, and tail morphology. The Striped Skunk shows a bold dorsal stripe splitting into two at the shoulders; the Spotted Skunk has broken white patches and a bushy, upright tail; the Hog-nosed Skunk features a broad white back patch and elongated snout; and the Hooded Skunk displays a narrow dorsal stripe with lateral white bands. These visual distinctions aid field identification and biological study.
