The skunk is not a rodent. They belong to the family Mephitidae and the order Carnivora which does not include rodentia. They are sometimes placed in the family Mustelidae (weasels) but have been discovered to be less related than was thought.
Skunks are polygamous animals that breed in late winter, usually in February and March. On average, the female will carry the babies for about 60 to 75 days before giving birth to a litter of four to six baby skunks, known as kits.triped skunks are usually solitary animals, meaning that they live alone. Skunks only interact with each other during winter, when they are mating, or when a mother is taking care of her new babies. Adult skunks are generally quiet animals, but young skunks tend to be more playful and make more noises.
