Far Cry: New Dawn Skunk is the third Rank 1 animal you must hunt while playing the video game developed by Ubisoft Montreal for Xbox One, PS4, and PC.
That’s because the Skunk in Far Cry: New Dawn is one of the 25 animals that must be skinned if you wish to unlock the Master Skinner trophy/achievement.
Unlike the first two (Deer and Pronghorn); the Skunk is a rare animal; which means that you won’t be able to find it in Hope County, even if you unlock the Cartography Center in Prosperity.
Nevertheless, this animal exists, and the following guide explains how to find Skunks in Far Cry: New Dawn.

Hunting Tips
A rare animal, the Skunk in Far Cry: New Dawn is best killed with a fast-firing weapon. While the animal itself is not dangerous, Alcatraz Island Expedition is a Rank 3 mission; thus you’ll need to equip accordingly.
Look for this animal inside the main building, where you should spot some cells with yellow doors.
This means that they are opened and sometimes Skunks live inside.
If by any chance you can’t find a Skunk, restart the mission until it spawns. This is a rare animal; without a fixed spawning location.
