MOLINA´S HOG-NOSED SKUNK Conepatus chinga
This striped stinker is Paraguay´s only skunk. Occurring principally in the Chaco, he is not often encountered, but be warned, that when he is, his first reaction if to lift his tail and turn his back to you, ready to give you a face full of his own special perfume if he thinks you´ve gotten too close!
