. The tail is less than half the total body length. Striped Hog-nosed Skunks in South America tend to get smaller from north to south. The Striped Hog-nosed Skunk is larger than the other South American species, Molinas and Humboldt's Hog-nosed Skunks. The pelage coloration typically is black with two narrow white stripes running from the head to the rump. There is extensive variation in color pattern. Striped hog-nosed Skunks have small, pig-like noses that are used for rooting insects. Like other

, the claws are long and the forelimbs are adapted for digging. These skunks also are able to spray a noxious fluid as a means of defense.

Striped Hog-nosed Skunks use grasslands with scattered palms, sparse deciduous forests, shrub woodlands, and open grassy areas mixed with sedges and herbaceous plants during the dry season. They prefer not to hang out in areas that have prolonged dry seasons. During the wet season they spend more time on higher ground in deciduousforests. Clearings and pastures near evergreen forests also are frequented by this species. Den sites are dug among tree roots or fallen trees. Burrows are about

Like other hog-nosed skunks,this species is an opportunistic omnivore. They feed on many invertebrates, but may not dig as much as the other species. Additionally, they consume small vertebrates, including reptiles, mammals, and birds, as well as fruits when they are available.

Striped Hog-nosed Skunks are primarily nocturnal. They become active shortly after sunset. One animal was reported to become active between 19:30 h and 24:00 h and stay out for about six hours at a time. The phase of the moon appeared not to affect activity periods. Though it is not outside the realm of possibility, these skunks rarely are seen during daylight hours.

These skunks breed in the early spring. Gestation lasts about 60 days. Litter sizes can range from 2-5. Otherwise,little is known about the breeding behavior of this species.
