Question

Your sister calls you crying because she just hit an animal with her car, and she thinks it was a black-and-white colobus monkey. What is a correct statement you could tell her to calm her down?

Answer 1

Black-and-white colobus monkeys are Old World monkeys and are not found in North America. She probably hit a skunk.

Step-by-step explanation:

• Skunk, also called polecat, black and white mammal discovered essentially in the Western Hemisphere, that utilizes scent glands to discharge a toxic smell in defense.

• The term skunk, alludes to something other than the notable striped skunk (mephitis). Basically nighttime, skunks are various carnivores that live in a wide variety of natural surroundings, including deserts, woodlands, and mountains. Most are about the size of a housecat, yet some are essentially smaller.
