· I live in the United States, Mexico, parts of Central America and southern Canada.
· I can live almost anywhere it's not too cold, but I like wooded areas the best.
· I make my home in a den, or burrow, which is a hole in the ground lined with leaves. I also may take shelter in a tree.
· I have got a long body, a narrow little head, lots of fur and a big, bushy tail.
· I'm always black with white stripes or spots.
· My body gets to be only about a foot long (about 30 centimeters), but my bushy tail might make me look a lot bigger!
· I normally weigh just 2 or 3 pounds (about one kilogram).
· I eat plants, insects, bird eggs and small animals, like mice. For a treat, I like to feast on wild honey and bees.
· I stand on my front feet and do a handstand to warn my enemies. If they get too close, I might squirt them with a bad-smelling spray. I also can growl or screech.
· People sometimes think I like to cause trouble, but I'm actually peaceful and shy. I come out of my burrow only at night to find food.

臭鼬——地图上涂橘红色的地方是我的家
有趣的常识:臭鼬因其能喷射出恶臭的物质而闻名,但是如果不是万不得已, 它是不喜欢向人们喷射的。实际上,它害怕比它大的动物,而且只有在它感到不安的情况下它才会喷射恶臭。臭鼬帮助农民吃掉那些啃食庄稼的啮齿类动物。
