This little carnivour is very unmistakable. They have black fur and four white stripes along the length of their bodies. That colouration has only one meaning - "beware the smell". They have two anal scent glands from which they can spray a very foul smelling substance.
Their diet consists of insects and mice but they'll also eat reptiles, birds and frogs.
