Nativeness
Unknown
Nativeness Notes
Historically, BICA was on the northern periphery of spotted skunk range (Hall 1981), so it is possible that it could have been naturally colonized by spotted skunks. However, human-induced landscape changes have expanded the the range of small, generalist carnivores over the past century (Laliberte and Ripple 2004), possibly facilitating colonization of BICA. With lack of further information, its nativity to BICA is thus unknown.; Data Source: Doug Keinath - Lead Zoologist - Wyoming Natural Diversity Database
