Biology and Behavior. Striped skunks mate in February and early March. Females give birth in May, often in woodchuck burrows, to an average litter of six. It is not unusual to see a female skunk with a line of little black and white copies following her across a damp pasture or lawn on an early July morning.
Several species, such as the Sonoran spotted and desert grassland whiptails, consist of females only. They reproduce through an asexual process called parthenogenesis, which begins with a simulated mating ritual in which the females bite and mount each other.
