**The hog-nosed skunk (Conepatus meso leucus) is a verebrate that is about 636.5 mm. and is about** **4500g.** **(this is my diarama of the hog-nosed skunks habitat) the hog-nosed skunk has a wike stripe of white running down its back and on its tail, the rest of its body is black.Some adaptions of this mammal is that its smell comes from the anal glands. The basic needs or food are insects,grub, and small mammals. The water it gets is from rivers,ponds, and lakes. It usualy it likes to live in dark places.** The hog nosed skunk can live in two climate zones, highlands and desert, in the highlands the tempratures are 60 degrees F-72 degrees F.the rainfall in this zone is less than 10 inches a year. Some plants that survive there are the giant labelia and the ponderosa pine. The mountain goat, cougar, and the snow rabbit live here same as the hog nosed skunk. Some interesting things about the hog nosed skunk is that they help farmers by eating crop eating insects and that the color of their fur, black and white, are a warning, but spraying is their last resource.
