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.
Number of rabid skunks on the rise in Missouri. Todd Frankel. The number of skunks testing positive for rabies in Missouri has reached a 15-year high, although the risk to humans remains quite low, according to new state data. State health authorities found rabies in 16 of 27 skunks tested through the first half of the year. At the same time last year, 8 out of 27 skunks tested positive. That compares to rabies found in 3 out of 300 dogs, 1 out of 200 cats, 3 out of 300 bats and 1 out of 12 horses.
