My daughter& I found a baby skunk by the side of road. He looked so forlorn that we took him home. Couldn’t have him descented cause in Pa, vets had to kill them tp prevent threat of rabies so we raised him along with our 7 cats. Had him for 5 years in the house, he played chase with us & cats, ate huge plates of veggies and regretfully died of cancer. P.S. Found a wonderful vet who would care for the little guy.😎

Jethrine321, skunks spray as a last resort. i see them every night in my yard eating under the bird feeders. when they see me, they run away.

The smell also sticks to the animal. So if one lives nearby you will smell it late at night every 4-5 days or so, as it patrols its territory.
(Skunky marijuana is only vaguely reminiscent of the same aroma. . .I live in a state where both are experienced regularly.)

Player #100277, I had a pet skunk named "Snoopy" when I was a kid...he was so awesome! The glands were removed when he was a few weeks old. Great pet...

When you are driving around at night and think you smell a skunk that might be road kill it could actually be some Marijuana plants growing in the woods near by. 😋

weedwhacker, One night I started to drive into garage. A head popped up out of garbage can and looked at me. It was a skunk. He looked at me like what are you doing home so soon?! He knocked can over and waddled away outside.

Player #1154062, we had 5 small ones for pets when I was a child. we returned them to the wild when they were big enough to fend for themselves

Forgot to say, he only sprayed once when we had to dip him in a bucket of flea dip. Luckily, he sprayed while in the bucket! We emptied it in woods at bottom of yard and it smelled down there for months!

Player #100277, If you feed your cat outside, you might a skunk sharing yours cat’s bowl like they’re buddies...

I was going to work early in the morning and I was going down the alley who a baby skunk came running towards me. I froze and very slowly backed up and went down the side alley. He might have thought I was his best friend, but I didn't know where his mother was or what she might have thought about it, but I wasn't going to wait to find out.

I got a good picture of a little skunk eating cat food in the carport. We have a good many skunks in South Mississippi. They are so cute.

When I was doing wildlife rehabilitation here in Texas, I once rescued a skunk that had gotten his head stuck in a drainage pipe at the base of one of those huge oil storage tanks, probably chasing after a cricket. Put a towel over the business end & just kind of 'unscrewed' him. He was a little wobbly, but okay. It I think it was a TEXACO tank.

If The teeth are at one end and The scent glands at The Other end, Maybe that is why they do Not Spray and bite at The same time.

My dog was sniffing a feathery black plant in a garden. When I realized it was a skunk I quietly pulled him away.
