The Skunk is an animal found in Red Dead Redemption. Skunks are small, black-furred creatures with a distinctive white stripe down their back and tail. In-game, they are similar in size and shape to raccoons, and possess nearly-identical animations and AI behavior. Skunks appear to be crepuscular - while they do occasionally appear in the daytime and full dark, they are seen at dusk and dawn with much greater frequency. In the Diez Coronas region, for instance, 7:00 - 9:00 P.M. appears to be prime skunk time. Their frequency may also be dependent on the time of day; it's been noted that they are most active after 6:00 A.M.
