They typically have black fur with white stripes running down their backs, and are around the size of a domestic cat.

However, you may be able to see them roaming around your plot once night falls. Skunks are nocturnal, so you are unlikely to spot one during the day.They use this as a defence mechanism, so if a person, a pet, or another possible predator startles one, then they're likely to get hit with the rotten-egg-like fumes. The most obvious telltale sign is the smell of a skunk's spray.
