Identified 340 foraging and denning sites of 11 eastern spotted skunks. Used fixed kernel density method to generate seasonal home range estimates for 6 individual eastern spotted skunks. Compared LiDAR-derived habitat variables at each used spotted skunk location at 3 distinct spatial scales with randomly generated unused locations to examine habitat selection of eastern spotted skunks in Alabama.
