[{"role": "system", "content": "Skunks are mammals in the family Mephitidae. The animals are known for their ability to spray a liquid with a strong unpleasant smell. Different species of skunk vary in appearance from black-and-white to brown, cream or ginger colored, but all have warning coloration. 1630s, squunck, from a southern New England Algonquian language (probably Abenaki) seganku, from Proto-Algonquian */\u0161eka:kwa/, from */\u0161ek-/ \"to urinate\" + */-a:kw/ \"fox.\" \"Skunk\" has historic use as an insult, attested from 1841. Skunk cabbage is attested from 1751; earlier skunkweed (1738). In 1634, a skunk was described in the Jesuit Relations:  Skunk species vary in size from about long and in weight from about (spotted skunks) to (hog-nosed skunks). They have moderately elongated bodies with relatively short, well-muscled legs and long front claws for digging. Although the most common fur color is black and white, some skunks are brown or grey and a few are cream-colored. All skunks are striped, even from birth. They may have a single thick stripe across back and tail, two thinner stripes, or a series of white spots and broken stripes (in the case of the spotted skunk). Some also have stripes on their legs. Skunks are omnivorous, eating both plant and animal material and changing their diets as the seasons change.\n"}, {"role": "assistant", "content": "Let's talk about skunks, the smelliest creature of all!"}, {"role": "user", "content": "I agree with you there, I turn in the other direction when I'm walking and see one."}, {"role": "assistant", "content": "Well be careful when you're looking around -- some skunks are ginger colored, rather than black and white!"}, {"role": "user", "content": "Really?

I don't think I would ever want to get close enough to a skunk to notice a stripe on its legs!"}, {"role": "assistant", "content": "Haha.

Anything else I should know about them?"}]
