poizon [28]
It is based on the context that the Hydrophobic Skunk is so rare that nobody ever saw him, this indicates that the regular person from anywhere cannot identify if the skunk really exist since no one has ever seen one. It is like a myth or a legend or just really rare. For the native, who has seen one or perhaps has been living with one around its area, knows the skunk exists, but depends on whether he or she knows its the name as Hydrophobic Skunk since no report was given that the skunk lives in the certain area. He or she may refer to it as just a skunk.

“People looked as small as ants below them.” What type of figurative language is the author using?
murzikaleks [220]
<h3>Metaphor </h3><h3 />

Metaphors are comparing something to another item. An example would be, "He has a heart of gold." This doesn't mean that he literally has a heart of gold, but simply that it is pure as gold.

Hope this helps. Good luck! :))
