Striped Skunk: Natural History Notebooks Perhaps because skunks are primarily nocturnal, they are known to most Canadians by reputation more than by first-hand experience. The animal's best known feature is its ability to discharge twin streams of musky fluid from the anal orifice. It does this with uncanny accuracy when it feels threatened. They can aim fairly reliably to a distance of 4 m (13 ft.) or more. The popular notion that skunks cannot eject their musk if they are lifted off the ground by the tail is mistaken, the factoid is not true.
