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.
Among timber rattlesnakes, courtship and mating occur either in the spring or in late summer. A male timber rattlesnake courts a willing female with a special three-step dance.. First he moves alongside and on top of the female. Then he starts rubbing his head and body against hers with jerky movements. Finally, he curls his tail under the female's, and mating takes place.
