Two species of skunks are found in Missouri. The eastern spotted skunk, Spilogale putorius, has white splotches on its back and sides. It is now rarely found in the state and is fully protected as a threatened species under state regulations. Also known as the civit cat, adult spotted skunks are typically 14 to 22 inches long and weigh from 3/4 to 2-3/4 pounds. The striped skunk, Mephitis mephitis, is more common.
The oldest skunk fossils are 10 million years old (the end of the Miocene): Pliogale and Martinogale encountered in Kansas. Today, 3 genera are known, all being over 2 million years old (from Pliocene): stripped skunks (Mephitis), spotted skunks (Spilogale) and hog-nosed skunks (Conepatus).
