Although the bat was removed without incident, residents in Berkeley and the surrounding areas are advised that Alameda County has been a “Rabies Area” since 1958. In Berkeley, bats and skunks are the most likely animals to be infected, although unimmunized dogs, foxes, coyotes, badgers, weasels, raccoons and unvaccinated cats can also carry the rabies virus. Rabies infection is virtually always fatal in man so it is critical that people know how to prevent infection: Avoid skunks and bats. Do not handle dead wild animals. Educate your children about the dangers of wild animals and warn them not to touch any animal they do not know.

Alabama Skunks As Pets. HOME Photo Gallery from the Show SHOW CLASSES Striped Skunk ( Mephitis mephitis ) - the "common" skunk of North America, and the one seen at this show as a domesticated pet. Other types of skunks include the Spotted Skunk (a protected fur-bearing game animal in most parts of the country, and as such, not a legal pet) and the Hog-Nosed Skunk (which has a broadened, fleshy, hairless nose, and is not usually considered as attractive as the Striped Skunk). The "classic" basic pattern consists of black or other solid-colored body fur with unbroken white stripes down the back and tail. The terms below describe color and marking variations of the Striped Skunk: Albino - a white skunk with white markings (may still be visible due to different fur shades or lengths) and general lack of any skin/eye pigmentation, resulting in pink eyes and nose. Sometimes found in the wild, usually quite sensitive to light. White with Dark Eyes - a white skunk with white markings, but with normal, eye pigmentation. Frequently mistaken for an albino at first glance, but only normally sensitive to light. Blonde - a skunk with body fur of yellow or orange color, with white markings and dark eyes. Also called Apricot-colored. Comes in many different shades.

Living With Skunks "I never met a skunk I didn't like" Anonymous Photo by Art Wolfe Skunks are members of the weasel family (Mustelidae). There are four species of skunk in North America: striped skunks (Mephitis mephitis), hooded skunks (M. macroura), spotted skunks (Spilogale putorius), and scarce hognosed skunks (Conepatus mesoleucus). The striped and spotted skunks are common in San Diego County's rural and urban areas; the striped skunk is larger and more common than the spotted skunk. Although their markings vary, these bushy- tailed creatures are always back and white and absolutely unmistakable. Striped skunks measure 20 to 30 inches long (including the wide, bushy tail) and weigh 6 to 10 pounds (about the size of a house cat) and have two wide, white stripes on their backs that meet on the head. Spotted skunks are about half that size with white spots instead of stripes. Skunks have small heads and eyes, pointed snouts, and short legs that make them seem to waddle. Their strong forefeet and long nails make them excellent diggers. They tend to be slow-moving animals, never in much of a hurry, and are generally poor climbers. A litter of from one to seven young, averaging five, is born from late April to early June.
