[{"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": "I have a purse with a picture of a sunk on it! :) you know, the mammal in the Mephitidae family?"}, {"role": "user", "content": "What is the Mephitidae family?"}, {"role": "assistant", "content": "It is the scientific classification of them.
