  • The skunk: black and white, easily provoked and wickedly perfumed! Understandably, Skunks have few enemies other than cars, household pets, and large Owls. But they do have many interesting traits which are often overshadowed by an emphasis on the obvious.

    Wife and I lived in an RV for 2 years. Used to charge my laptop in the Staples parking lot next door. There was a skunk that had a route around the area and he came around me a few times. I could pick up Staples' internet, so while I was sitting on the cement, checking my email, I look up and he's standing up, peering at me from across the screen about 6 inches from my face. He wrinkled his nose at me and moved on. The name "Oscar" popped into my head, so I called him, Oscar. Sometimes, he would come up about 3 to 6 feet from me and just sit for awhile and watch me. Maybe he wanted to check his google account.

      really, i just killed two young ones. Have killed many more. They keep going after my chickens, trying to dig under my fence. They get hit by the electric fence and release the stink. And then i wake up as it comes into my home. They are cute animals, but i kind of hate them at this point. I don't release them when i catch them in my traps.

    Many years ago I found two baby skunks, the mother having been killed by a passing car. I took them home and bottle-fed them for more than a month. A friendly vet operated on them and removed the glands. They lived with us for many years. They kept the whole property clean of rodents and bugs, not saying about the unwanted human visitors :) ,

      How horrible are you? So you selfishly alter their lives to suit you? Call a vet, but them release back to the wild. I bet you wanted to hear about what a sweet thing you did, but you did not. So if your the one hit by the car, then anyone that's near can take you home, call a dr to have all your defense mechanisms taken out, like ypur voice and hands, and now you are their's for the rest of your life. I really pray you get the opportunity to see first hand what that must be like for them.

    I had an almost mystical encounter with a skunk one night, although it did not end well. I was on my bike in summer, riding my bike in flip flops and stopped at a red light on a road near the beach. Suddenly I saw a little skunk waddling towards me- I couldn’t really go anywhere or do anything and I just assumed it would pass me by, but unbelievably he came and stood on top of my foot. It was really really weird. The light changed to green and I could not go - cars and bikes were going around me, but I was too scared to move, that he’d spray me. Also, he looked up at me- we were honestly having a face off, and I had no idea what this skunk wanted with me. I just waited patiently for him to get off me. Well…he finally did, but not until after he fully sprayed me! The smell literally never left my bike, when I sold it, it still smelled like skunk. And I had to throw out those clothes. Will never be able to explain what that skunk’s motivation was, but my boyfriend was sure not impressed when I got home reeking to high heaven. However, despite it all, I could not help being charmed by this skunk and just how adorable he was despite this very unpleasant and strange experience!

As he is eating it he described the flavor to a steak rubbed with dog crap He then has to wear his jacket that night when the temperature drops.

    I dont like skunks at all . When thier babies thier cute. Now here's what I don't understand Hopefully someone can explain. Last year before I had to move back home I was outside my apartment that I was living in with my landlord at the time and I was sitting by the door like normal around 6 am having a cigarette and I noticed across the street there were alot of skunks that were active. Anyway I saw one skunk come across the street but I didn't see where it went and all of a sudden I see it running around the corner it stopped a few feet or so away from me and started hissing at me at first I couldn't tell if it was a hiss I didn't know at the time that skunks hiss. Anyway it hissed at me twice I stood up and I backed away slowly opened the front door and I went inside and the skunk didn't move it just stood looking at me but it didn't attack me or charge me. Can someone tell me why it was hissing at me to begin with . My mom said I might of spooked it cuz it wasn't expecting to see me there but idk she's not much of an animal expert but she knows alot about raccoons tho.
