	Ghost of a flea: Mephitis
		A temple to Mephitis, a goddess of the pre-Roman Samnites, has been found at Pompeii.

	Hooded Skunk (Mephitis macroura)
		, Mephitis mephitis, but differs in having longer, softer fur and a distinct ruff of longer hair on the upper neck.
		In the white-backed phase, a broad white band begins between the eyes and covers most of the back and upper surface of the tail; the white stripe never bifurcates as in the striped skunk.
		The fur of this animal is much longer and softer than that of any other skunk, but it does not command a high price on the fur market.

	NPWRC :: Age-Related Reproduction in Striped Skunks (Mephitis mephitis) in the Upper Midwest
		Abstract: Reproductive data from the upper Midwest are meager for the striped skunk (Mephitis mephitis), a common North American carnivore.
		Estimates of litter size based on counts of corpora lutea averaged 0.9 young per female less than estimates for the same females based on counts of live embryos, indicating that some skunks may have produced polyovular follicles or identical twins.

	In the Classroom
		Abstract: The striped skunk (Mephitis mephitis) is widely known for the highly odoriferous defensive secretion it uses to repel predators.
		This led to several incorrect structural identifications persisting in the literature for years because few chemists were interested in reinvestigating the chemicals in these secretions.
		Six species of skunks are found in North America: the striped skunk, Mephitis mephitis; the hooded skunk, M.

		In the wild, Mephitis mephitis are omnivores and scavengers.
		It's been discovered that when domesticated Mephitis mephitis are fed a primarily vegetarian diet consisting of vegetables and grains, they can live on average ten to fifteen years, with some critters lasting into their twenties.
		However, Mephitis mephitis also seems to be smarter and less independent than Mustela putorious furo.

		We attempted to determine if providing food to predators would increase nest success of ducks in the Prairie Pothole Region, where the predator community is markedly different than that in Utah (Sargeant and Arnold 1984).
