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.
Small Prey. While most of the skunk diet is insect-based, these animals may also devour small, relatively helpless animal prey, as well. Field mice, voles and rabbits may all be targeted by skunks, as well as ground-nesting birds. Skunks may even eat the eggs or flightless young of ground-nesting birds.
