Meet the Safari Ltd. Striped Skunk, a hand-painted, lifelike figure that brings the intriguing world of North American wildlife right into your hands. Found almost everywhere in the United States, as well as parts of Canada and northeastern Mexico, the Striped Skunk is infamous for its defensive spray – a foul-smelling liquid that's difficult to remove. Although closely related to weasels, badgers, otters, and wolverines, skunks are in a family all their own. They've earned their reputation through their unique defense mechanism, and their striking black and white fur serves as a clear warning to potential predators. This skunk figure, part of the Wild Safari North American Wildlife collection, is crafted in a defensive posture with its tail raised and back arched. The detailing on this model is remarkable, portraying the Striped Skunk's characteristics in a playful yet educational manner. And don't worry, unlike the real thing, this figure doesn't carry the skunk's famous smell! Made from high-quality, non-toxic, BPA-free materials, this 2.5" figure is suitable for children ages 3+ and makes a delightful educational toy. It's a perfect gift for young nature lovers, collectors, and anyone fascinated by wildlife.
