Hooded skunk : ウィキペディア英語版 | Hooded skunk
The hooded skunk (''Mephitis macroura'') is a species of mammal in the family Mephitidae. ''Mephit'' in Latin means "foul odor" and ''macr'' in Greek translates to "large" and ''oura'' translates to "tail". == Morphology ==
It can be distinguished from the similar striped skunk (''M. mephitis'') by its longer tail and longer, much softer coat of fur, and larger tympanic bullae. A ruff of white fur around its neck gives the animal its common name. Three color phases are known and in all three, a thin white medial stripe is present between the eyes: black-backed with two lateral white stripes, white-backed with one dorsal white stripe, or entirely black with a few white hairs in the tail.
