Here is a list of the 11 species of skunks currently recognized. For now (until we find time to write something of our own) the links will take you to the International Union for Conservation of Nature (IUCN) Red List where available. Taxonomy of hog-nosed skunks is based on Dragoo et al. (2003) and Schiaffini et al. (2013). Spotted skunk taxonomy is based on Floyd et al. (2011), Ferguson et al. (2017), Shaffer et al. (2018), Bell (2020), and McDonough et al. (in press).
