These little fellow are also known as striped polecats and can emit a powerful odor similar to skunk spray as a defense mechanism, deterring potential predators.
Despite their similar appearance to skunks, zorillas are not closely related. They belong to the weasel family and inhabit parts of Africa.

This is a Zorilla. Zorillas, also known as striped polecats, bear a striking resemblance to that of a skunk. Much like skunks, Zorillas also possess the remarkable ability to emit a foul-smelling spray when threatened, effectively deterring predators. This potent defense mechanism, combined with their bold white stripes, serves as a visual warning to potential threats.
Zorillas' diet includes insects, rodents, and small vertebrates. Their nocturnal habits and elusive nature make them captivating subjects for researchers and wildlife enthusiasts.
