They are freaking cute. XD the perception is all wrong they don't just bomb you as a hobby it's when you look threatening. They just wanted to greet this random human. XD
It is a defence mechanism to keep other animals from coming close-freaks then out a little, plus makes it harder to pick out the "weakest.", I think. Like what fish do in schools.
That's how they hunt, this is why they are called "earth-sharks", they do that to look bigger and stronger for big enemies just before jump over they and kill them with their cuteness. (Diagnosis of Death: Diabetes) AbnormalGeographic
I think "noot noot" is a very artistic translation of the sound they make - but fair enough. Guess they were doing the good old "noot noot and scoot scoot".
This makes it harder for birds of prey to pick out a target. Eagles (by day) and owls (by night) are a serious threat to any kit that gets isolated from the scrum, and both types of birds have learned tactics to avoid getting sprayed when striking. Land predators tend to avoid skunks even when they're tiny :P.
As someone who has played Celeste, 100 percent accurate XD Also, the reason the guy didn't get sprayed is because of wild animal rule number 1: never make any sudden movements
@matthewgillis2617 the reason the guy didn't get sprayed was because the skunks didn't see him as a threat. No animal is going to intentionally bring it's kids near a threat. The skunk probably doesn't know anything about humans, so doesn't know to be afraid of them. If there was a cat or dog on the path, the skunks probably would have ran off.
They are stinky and *then* they spray... But these guys only gave the very first level of signs. They were pretty chill, for meeting someone who's large, and a complete stranger. Putting the tail up means they are alert. If they put the tail *forward* they're threatening you with nature's tear gas.
I've raised a family of orphaned infants to age of release. They never sprayed *me*, though there was that odour in their box. Also, I have lived with 2 de-skunked adult females, who were *so lovey, it's unbelievable.' They were just like cats, but could'nt jump. They'd put their front paws on my legs, & seem to say,. "Pick me up!" Once in my lap, they were like cats, loving the petting for a couple hours at a time. HEAVEN, right there.
How were u able to release them if u raised them...just asking - are they going to have their defenses up when they were released n know how to live in the wild?...
Some people don't afraid of it they can easily kill a skunks if they want to, people just avoiding bc they be trigger to bite if angry. But if a man wants to kill them, they more than just a pest
One thing I love about cycling, wild animals just interact with you as if you are just another animal, no fear no judgement, just a little curiosity and away, it's cool.
It was a "let me stand super still and don't make any sudden movements so momma doesn't get pissed off and get defensive and make me smell super horrible and ruin my bike outfit" vibe.

I have a little family living next to our property and I found them (skunks) to be nothing but helpful! They get rid of all the pests and keep venomous snakes away... What more could you want in a neighbor?! Not to mention, they are adorable!
I grew up in the country and skunks are well known for having diseases. Many of them are rabid and you have to be exceptionally careful around skunks. I've never been sprayed bad enough, but I learned early on to keep your distance. And sometimes being out in the country that's really hard because they suddenly sneak up on you. They're hilariously funny the way they jump through the weeds so you just see them almost popping up out of the weeds and then back down and then hopping back up again. But I would never ever want anyone to get close to an animal like this. Just can't believe they didn't spray him. I've been six feet away and they've started to spray before. And you just run the other way. As fast as you can because that smell carries. Even if you didn't get sprayed you will smell for weeks.
Kronos seems like the kind of person that upon someone remarking how cute a baby is, he feels the need to remark “oh yeah well why don’t you take a big whifff when he shits himself?”
if the tail is up they are ready to spray if its down they wont ... if they are bobbing it up and down ... they cant decide if you are a threat or not ...
actually they were all on alert, their tails were all up, but they kept it pretty neutral, but I wouldn't say they were relaxed, he was probably a cough or a sneeze away from having a really bad week. its kinda impressive he kept so still and quiet, but I guess had he done anything else this video would have been really different and we would all be grateful for the lack of olfactory technology...
@atom I noticed as they were scampering along that the kids kept getting so close to mom’s backside that she had trouble running herself!!! 🥴🥴🥴 🤪🤪😅😂🤣😅😂🤣😁😆😅😂🤣
I grew up in Southern California in the 60's, and ran into several skunks during early morning runs. They aren't mean or aggressive. Most animals are curious about people. I like the chill way the guy just sat there and let them check him out.
My aunts apt building had a family of skunks a few people would feed, you could pet them to. People should try not to mess with nature though as they should fear most people.
@@littlebritnope. No one is feeding them. I can personally attest to the fact that if you're perfectly still, skunks, who don't see very well, will approach you without realizing you're there. It's happened to me in my yard numerous times over the last 20 years and the people around here don't feed them, they're terrified of them.
Watching this caused a bit of ptsd for me. I got sprayed by a skunk one time when i was delivering newspaper at around 3am. Imagine strong burnt coffee, moldy trash, and more burnt coffee. I had that smell for a week.
They'll actually give you a pretty good warning first, they'll stomp their feet first and scream at you, and if you dont take the hint they'll start aiming their butts at you and look over their shoulder to warn you that theyre armed. They warn you first because they dont want to have to do it as they dont produce the thiols (smelly stuff) fast enough to shoot again for about ten days. Leaving them defenceless. They're actually quite peaceful creatures, they dont wanna spray you, but they do get scared
@@Cytoplasm_ for sure you know that youtube is an international platform and that the person with the question eventually does not hail from the skunk homelands. same goes for me. i never walked upon a skunk and never smelled it.
@@dennissch.5014 the smell is so strong it causes an ALMOST uncontrollable physical reaction. a jesuit missionary wrote, of a dead skunk: "No sewer ever smelled so bad. I would not have believed it if I had not smelled it myself. Your heart almost fails you when you approach the animal" charles darwin wrote: "If a dog is urged to the attack, its courage is instantly checked by a few drops of the fetid oil, which brings on violent sickness and running at the nose. Whatever is once polluted by it, is for ever useless." it's almost impossible to describe the smell. it's like burning cabbage, burning rubber, vinegar, celery, farts, and paint fumes, ALL AT ONCE. the smell hits you like a battering ram--it has an almost physical presence.
That makes so much sense. She has probably seen this one, an other cyclists stop 2 take pics ect, an knew he wasn't a true threat an a perfect teaching experience.
lol!🤣🤣omg cutest little noises ever! Used to have a mama skunk and 2 babies come to my house in Northern California every evening just before sunset to eat whatever cat food or dog food was on porch. They’re super cute.
This isn't a family, this is a field trip. They got to see a real, live human with one of his strange machines, because he can't run very fast or far. Now, on to the next exhibit.
@bryan diaz varela I.. highly doubt you aren't just saying that. Highly. It doesn't matter anyways, the point stands that humans can outlast most land animals with their running. It was how people hunted. It didn't matter that some animals could sprint faster than them, because the human could chase until their prey was too tired to keep going.
I'll be honest, if you completed this video with a huge breath in, I would have busted up laughing. As it is, they're soooo cute! Smelly, sure, but adorable!
I don't think I've ever seen a baby skunk before. They're so cute! Those noises they make haha Omg. The more I look at their little feetsies when they walk away the more I smile. Little tails flopping up and down!
"Alright children, this is a bicycle." *Bike? Bicycle* *bycecle bicycle ?* "Yes, and this is a human's shoe." *Shoe shoe?* *shoe,.. shoe.* "Yes, now we must leave."
Is this supposed to be funny or cute/random? You seem like one of those gay kids that like anime with a sense of humor that is all about being random or cute
If you have never seen a skunk up close, they are actually adorable! They are also extremely gentle. Just....avoid making them feel defensive, and you'll be fine.
@Scott Westergren Ask Johnny Knoxville about making skunks feel defensive!!!!!! He tried to release one from a live(boxtrap) trap on an episode of Jackass back in the days of Jackass on MTV!!! It was hilarious!!!! He thought the skunk would be out of spray after two or three shots!!!!! 🙀😱🥴🥴🤪🤪😖😆🤣😂😆😂😂😆😂😂😆🤣😂😆🤣😂😆🤣😂😅😅😅
Melissa McCarthy's mom was a well known feeder of stray cats...and she believed that they should be pet if possible so they felt safe. She was petting a cat and talking to someone when she looked down and found she was petting a skunk. If you have neighbor's who feed the stray cats then you will have a neighborhood with skunks.
Fun fact: Skunks don’t spray people as it’s their last resort of defence. They will only spray when you frighten them, which they will stamp their feet and give you plenty of time to back away since the glands can take two weeks to recover leaving them vulnerable during the two weeks against more dangerous predators.
You either try to make yourself look as intimidating as a wet square of toilet paper when you're near them or best hope you can run like Usain Bolt when you find a skunk. Otherwise it's off to the bathtub for a week
true true, i would have probably try 2 run if i realized what will happen from far away, noone will take them 4v1 when only 1 shot is enough 2 end ur day.
You won't die but you will spend a month without been able to sleep thanks to that smell cause it still lingers even if you clean it with tomato sauce.
@Nyasha Chifamba in the animal world the fathers don't even exist,they don't care for their young, protect or even look out for them, all the basically do is breed and leave their responsibilities for the mom's to take care of.

@Tophat cat wow that's pretty negative. All he says is no?
When something is simultaneously adorable and terrifying at the same time
You didn’t need to say “simultaneously” and “at the same time” together. They mean the same thing

Raptin 159 What’s terrifying about them?
Hollengrhen they could have sprayed their stink if they were scared
Ah, Skunks. We have them on the ranch and never been sprayed once. Inquisitive, gentle and funny little neighbors.
This is like the cutest, most adorable, pack of time bombs I've ever seen 😅
@Sean Wilkinson but these claymores can turn around real quick
@Sean Wilkinson how bad can the smell be? I mean you can get used to it no?
@@zabisworld It's really, really bad, and you can smell it for miles out in the open. If the shit gets on you it takes forever to wash the smell out.
You mean stink bombs
@@argosime does it get into the skin or what? I would think a good shower after should kill the smell, no?
Skunks : let's investigate
30 seconds later : ok, we are done here
that was a very good joke
A few front tire sniffs and, shoe sniffs and mission was a success 😎
They probably wanted food they remind me of my cat when he's hungry haha
The cyclist: Screaming on the inside
I love the way skunks walk. They have this... waddle to them.
If you love that, you should see Ferrets 😂
Furret
Then they waddled away waddle-waddle!
They have this smell to them
They walk like women.
They are so stiinky but incredibly cute. The way they came running up to check you out was hilarious!
Their little tails wobbling up and down just makes this even better
Very cute!
Guacamole Nigga Penis
Winston Kwok mate I just put on my sock, they’re equal amounts of how irrelevant that was
if the tail is up they are ready to spray if its down they wont ... if they are bobbing it up and down ... they cant decide if you are a threat or not ...
R u joking I would be sacred ass fuck if they would to spray me

RETREAT BEFORE THEY SPRAY US ALL
I would of dead ass cycled my way out at mach speeds
Yeah that's exactly how I would've reacted lmao
That would be the day that I set a new biking PR (personal record)
We don't have skunks in N.Z. Is the smell really that bad?? ! : )
I found it cute how the mother didnt perceive the man as a threat and let the babies come up and sniff him.
actually they were all on alert, their tails were all up, but they kept it pretty neutral, but I wouldn't say they were relaxed, he was probably a cough or a sneeze away from having a really bad week. its kinda impressive he kept so still and quiet, but I guess had he done anything else this video would have been really different and we would all be grateful for the lack of olfactory technology...
@SportsRGreat ah yes,that's why my GSD loves to bark at small children. *Eyeroll*
@DefiantBoris she is 100% gsd and hates all people. Every pitbull I've met is the biggest softie so I'm not sure where that correlation comes from
Then again who wants to Fuck with a skunk n Piss it off
@SportsRGreat 😂😂
Very cute! Love how they just stop, greet you, then go about their business. Skunks are pretty friendly until they get scared

One of my all time favorite videos. they are so cute.
Love how they're all in such an important rush the whole time. Best part was putting the paw on the shoe.
My chickens do that too when they're trying to be friendly, or peck your shoes as if they're cleaning them for you.
The kids were late for school.

I noticed as they were scampering along that the kids kept getting so close to mom’s backside that she had trouble running herself!!!

For real; was almost some Alice in Wonderland scene.
I grew up in Southern California in the 60's, and ran into several skunks during early morning runs. They aren't mean or aggressive. Most animals are curious about people. I like the chill way the guy just sat there and let them check him out.
My aunts apt building had a family of skunks a few people would feed, you could pet them to. People should try not to mess with nature though as they should fear most people.
I run into them during my early morning runs too!
if he would have moved or startled them it would be tomato baths for a week!
Nothing curios. Somebody is feeding them. There should be punishments for feeding wildlife. Feeding harms them more than does good.
@@littlebritnope. No one is feeding them. I can personally attest to the fact that if you're perfectly still, skunks, who don't see very well, will approach you without realizing you're there.
It's happened to me in my yard numerous times over the last 20 years and the people around here don't feed them, they're terrified of them.
>When you go biking and five walking chemical weapon factories pull you over.
*_Genuine Panic Attack_*
If you stay still they won't spray you cause they don't feel threatened. I think if this happened to me, id die of cuteness overload lol

😂😂😂
Watching this caused a bit of ptsd for me. I got sprayed by a skunk one time when i was delivering newspaper at around 3am. Imagine strong burnt coffee, moldy trash, and more burnt coffee.
I had that smell for a week.
Shinigami Sama Try coming across a stretch of road with about 21 roadkilled skunks in about 5 miles.
This is so awesome. One of the best videos I've ever seen here on TH-cam.
The cyclist was very smart by remain still,and don't make sudden moves.Instead of a stinky situation,he got a beautiful experience.
They'll actually give you a pretty good warning first, they'll stomp their feet first and scream at you, and if you dont take the hint they'll start aiming their butts at you and look over their shoulder to warn you that theyre armed. They warn you first because they dont want to have to do it as they dont produce the thiols (smelly stuff) fast enough to shoot again for about ten days. Leaving them defenceless. They're actually quite peaceful creatures, they dont wanna spray you, but they do get scared
well said :-)
@@bgttgb100 This is so interesting live and learn ! Thank you
@@bgttgb100 very kind of them to have warnings
I would've started crying
That is both terrifying and adorable.
@Maljoe lol have you never smelled a skunk?
@Maljoe skunks protect themselves by spraying a powerful....
POWERFUL!!!. Smelling spray that will stick to you for a month or longer.
@@Cytoplasm_ for sure you know that youtube is an international platform and that the person with the question eventually does not hail from the skunk homelands. same goes for me. i never walked upon a skunk and never smelled it.
@@dennissch.5014 the smell is so strong it causes an ALMOST uncontrollable physical reaction.
a jesuit missionary wrote, of a dead skunk: "No sewer ever smelled so bad. I would not have believed it if I had not smelled it myself. Your heart almost fails you when you approach the animal"
charles darwin wrote: "If a dog is urged to the attack, its courage is instantly checked by a few drops of the fetid oil, which brings on violent sickness and running at the nose. Whatever is once polluted by it, is for ever useless."
it's almost impossible to describe the smell. it's like burning cabbage, burning rubber, vinegar, celery, farts, and paint fumes, ALL AT ONCE. the smell hits you like a battering ram--it has an almost physical presence.
they are gross only
- All right children, do you got the scent?
- Yes mom!
- Good. Avoid it. Always.
😂😂😂
Your right. She was teaching them. Skunks never roll up on people. Especially with thier young.
That makes so much sense. She has probably seen this one, an other cyclists stop 2 take pics ect, an knew he wasn't a true threat an a perfect teaching experience.
lol!🤣🤣omg cutest little noises ever! Used to have a mama skunk and 2 babies come to my house in Northern California every evening just before sunset to eat whatever cat food or dog food was on porch. They’re super cute.
Astounding how they stick close to each other to mimick one bigger creature (and making it more difficult for predators to single out a youngling).
“ I saw him killing younglings”
@@Imlaor25 "I slaughtered them all, not just the men, but the women, and the children too. "
Agreed, I can't lie I thought it was 3 skunks for a while, then I kinda made out 4, and then they were up close and boom it's actually 5
@@Imlaor25 not anakin, he couldn't

But, what does the fox say?
know thats comedy gold people!
And it must never be unknown....
That's when they're playful... You don't want to hear them when they're pissed !! Those and racoons !! Why u so ANGRY ?? ;_;
And knowing’s half the battle!
This isn't a family, this is a field trip. They got to see a real, live human with one of his strange machines, because he can't run very fast or far. Now, on to the next exhibit.
Hahahaha, that's funny,, thanks for the smile your comment gave me 😊
Hilarious!!
one of a humans key traits is our endurance...
@bryan diaz varela he means endurance not speed
@bryan diaz varela I.. highly doubt you aren't just saying that. Highly. It doesn't matter anyways, the point stands that humans can outlast most land animals with their running. It was how people hunted. It didn't matter that some animals could sprint faster than them, because the human could chase until their prey was too tired to keep going.
I'll be honest, if you completed this video with a huge breath in, I would have busted up laughing. As it is, they're soooo cute! Smelly, sure, but adorable!

Despite their natural defense they're actually pretty cute critters.
Hell yeah they are! Beautiful (albeit smelly) creatures!
They really are!🥰
Yeah, it’s just difficult to be near them for too long when some constantly smell like a middle school locker room
Apparently some people get the stink pouch removed and keep them as pets
I dunno how humane the process is though
@@MasoTrumoi I also meant the glands on their body that produce a smell like armpits. Porcupines have the same glands if I remember right.
If you have never seen a skunk up close, they are actually adorable! They are also extremely gentle. Just....avoid making them feel defensive, and you'll be fine.
The first intelligent comment I've read.
Yeah, I live in the city, but they are everywhere. City skunks aren't afraid of much, but I've never seen them run up to people like that
@Scott Westergren
Ask Johnny Knoxville about making skunks feel defensive!!!!!!
He tried to release one from a live(boxtrap) trap on an episode of Jackass back in the days of Jackass on MTV!!!
It was hilarious!!!!
He thought the skunk would be out of spray after two or three shots!!!!!
🙀😱🥴🥴🤪🤪😖😆🤣😂😆😂😂😆😂😂😆🤣😂😆🤣😂😆🤣😂😅😅😅
Melissa McCarthy's mom was a well known feeder of stray cats...and she believed that they should be pet if possible so they felt safe. She was petting a cat and talking to someone when she looked down and found she was petting a skunk. If you have neighbor's who feed the stray cats then you will have a neighborhood with skunks.
Fun fact: Skunks don’t spray people as it’s their last resort of defence. They will only spray when you frighten them, which they will stamp their feet and give you plenty of time to back away since the glands can take two weeks to recover leaving them vulnerable during the two weeks against more dangerous predators.
This dude acted like he'd gotten pulled over by a cop.
You would too.
You either try to make yourself look as intimidating as a wet square of toilet paper when you're near them or best hope you can run like Usain Bolt when you find a skunk. Otherwise it's off to the bathtub for a week
Both will spray you if they fell threatened.
Bet if this guy is pulled over by a cop, he acts like a karen seeing a skunk
