Skunks In The Forest eBook

Many people dislike skunks, but this is primarily due to misconceptions about them. For instance, they are not normally smelly creatures, and they do not pose a threat to humans. In fact, they are beneficial, as they eat creatures that tend to ruin gardens. They also scavenge animal carcasses, which removes carrion from the environment. Through full-color photographs, informative fact boxes, and a detailed graphic organizer, readers learn all about the vital role skunks play in a forest ecosystem. A list of books and websites provides a jumping-off point for further research.
