A small skunk native to Central and South America, also known as the hog-nosed skunk, with a pig-like snout.
From Nahuatl 'conetl' (child) and Spanish 'pate' (small). The Nahuatl origin reflects this animal's native habitat in Mexico and Central America.
Unlike the striped skunks most North Americans know, conepates use their long snouts to root in the ground for insects and grubs—their snouts are basically tiny excavators!
