The city of Chicago is known for many things. It is known as The Windy City more for its politics than for its weather. It is well known as the home for many of the works of architect Frank Lloyd Wright. It is the home of the Merchandise Mart which is the only building in Chicago (and maybe the country) that has its own zip code (60654).
Skunks usually nest in burrows constructed by other animals, but they also live in hollow logs or even abandoned buildings. In colder climates, some skunks may sleep in these nests for several weeks of the chilliest season.
Striped skunks reach sexual maturity at a year old, and it is at this age that they are finally ready to leave their mother. Skunks generally live to be two or three years old in the wild, but they may live up to ten years in captivity.dult skunks are generally quiet animals, but young skunks tend to be more playful and make more noises. The skunkâs biggest form of communication is stamping its feet, which indicates that it is upset. Other noises a skunk will make are hisses, growls, screeches, grunts, squeals, and the clicking of its teeth.
