Striped skunk
Mephitis mephitis · Mammal · Common in San Diego County
Default for wild mammals: logged quietly

Usually out after dark, a striped skunk on camera is often nosing through the lawn for grubs and beetles, leaving little cone-shaped holes behind. It tends to give fair warning before it sprays: stamping its front feet, hissing and raising that plume of a tail.
