Aw how cute it's like a cat that constantly points a loaded gun at you.
I know that cat. I have that cat. It's ok though, she's got a purrmit.
😂
@@YourMajesty143 🏅🍪
You just know that if cats could hold guns they'd e constantly pointing them at you.
sooo a cat...
"Listen here, lady...Iv'e got a butt...and i'm not afraid to use it!"
Hahaha
Underrated comment XD
That's what my youngest said! Then she turned around and farted on me and proved it!😫😝

“Go forth and stinkify, little buddy”
My dad brought home 3 little baby skunks when I was a kid. We kept them in a cage outside at night and let them wander around the yard during the day like chickens. Fed them catfood and bugs. They really loved our black/white dog and followed him everywhere. He was petrified of them because he had already been sprayed by skunks multiple times so it was fun watching him try and avoid them. They all wandered off eventually and we would smell them once in awhile in the fall when it was cold at night. They would stomp and hiss and do all the skunk things.
😆😆 that dog learned his lesson although it took awhile..and him being black and white they thought he was their dad...the skunks were thinking are you our daddy???.
You reminded me about summer. We have a skunk that comes to spray our yard every other night. Tell me again how long do they live?
Bless them ❤
"Fun" watching your dog avoid them because he'd been sprayed a few times? Wow. How incredibly insensitive to your dog!
@@JIF930 he got over it. And it was very funny. He was a cattle dog and didn't care about nonsense like sensitivity. His life goal was to bite and herd things.
* stomps, stomps * "Look at my butt" * stomps, stomps * "LOOK AT IT"
Hey, nice name.
@@cheriann6461 no U
Me
*pokes finger in butt* Yep thats what a toddler would do. I know cause I saw a dog getting violated on youtube before i got here
The only difference between a skunk and a cat is the stomping.
I raised a baby skunk when I was a teenager. I named him Stinky. He never sprayed anyone. He loved cat food. I turned him loose one summer and he stayed close to our home.
So cool, I wanted to try that,.. ,being raised on the farm👨🌾. 🙏🇨🇦
Sprayed anyone else who even came close to invading it's territory?
@@JANEEDISTURBED Not that we are aware of. He would threaten people by raising his tail and swinging his rear end around to face them. That was all it took. People kept their distance.
@@Angiehere-1 I can't tell if you are thinking of a singular event or this was a very frequent thing
@@chairjacker I can’t tell what you are asking.
I was outside of my place smoking a cigarette and seen a mom skunk walking across my yard with 3 baby skunks behind her, was the cutest thing I've seen 🤣
My brother knew someone with pet skunks. It was adorable they were all laying on him he said they are just like cats they even use the litter box. For people who can have pet skunks I'm happy for them they have such a cool bond! I also didn't know it but they come in a full array of colors and various patterns it's cool to see ^^
I’m impressed by how trainable they are
Yea I’ve heard they make great pets just sucks it’s illegal to keep them where I live 😢
True. I had a pet skunk. She was the funnest pet especially at night when she would come out to explore. The first thing you would see is that big tail coming from behind the table then you would hear the stomping. She loved to curl up and sleep with you.
I had a couple of skunks and don’t recommend. They are nocturnal so you better like staying up at night! 😴
@L.A.Stars I mean so are hamsters and ferrets, yet people have those ^^; it doesn't matter if they are diurnal or nocturnal
Did I wake up today thinking I'd find out what a skunk's butt looks like? No, I didn't. But here we are... And with extreme detail.
And your a better human being cause of it....
@@RubbishFPS lol
😂
LOL
It’s basically a huge gland and their weapon.
*Skunk:* Stomp. *Me:* You are doing amazing, sweetie.
🤣 love it
@big chungus HOW BOUT NO.
@big chungus I will you into a cave and block the entrance if you don't stop.
@big chungus please stop thats such a cringe way to type
@big chungus PLEASEEE WHYY MUST YOU SOUND LIKE A DAM NEKO ITS CRINGE AS HELL-
We had a family of skunks. First came Skunkette, then her mate Skunked, followed by the 3 skunkaroos. We could walk right up to them and they wouldn't stomp or spray.. the babies were so cute. I live right next to a wilderness area, so we get lots of wildlife. I think the skunks are my favorites.
I had a pet skunk when i was growing up , was the best pet ever .
I had a little skunk come out of the bushes and curl up in my lap while I was changing brakes in the yard. Freaked me out since I was working by drop light and heard the rustling of the leaves etc but didn't think nothing of it till I felt it crawl onto my lap lol. Stayed with me for an hour or so, then went back off into the wild. I will never forget that experience, its already been 20+ years ago lol
You are a lucky person -- a nice story
Your spirit animal
Awww, you had a Disney moment! Lucky.
Aww. Everyone needs a cuddle sometimes.
STOP REPLYING
Fact: Skunks have a limited defensive liquid storage so they will often act like they will spray you but will only use the liquid if you really push your boundaries. Their bad sight doesn't help with that either
But if you do boundary-stomp or scare them that badly, they've got great range and can multi-shot that mess. Better to just give the cute, fluffy lil' stinkers their personal space~
i have a dumb question. do they poop out of the same hole that they spray? can they do both at the same time for a double whammy?
@@fjp9 It's not dumb; asking questions is how you learn~ ^u^ And to answer that, no; the spray comes from a set of glands (anal/musk); the actual anus is a different orifice. I don't know if they can poop and spray at the same time, but I do know that the spray is projectile (a pissed-off skunk can nail you from up to 15 feet away!), and unless something is _VERY_ wrong, poop is not projectile.
@@alexisgrunden1556 thanks. i was wondering if skunks get diarrhea and could do a real nasty projectile. lol
@@fjp9 Hahaha, no problem. Like I said though, if the poop is projectile, too, then something is very wrong. As a general rule for most mammals, projectile poop is not a sign of anything positive health-wise~ But considering that skunks will happily root through garbage and eat rotten things at times, I doubt the usual suspects would apply for causation of symptoms.
I've raised many skunks..they tame almost instantly and never spray at people once they are tame..They swing there butt around because of instinct and not aggression or wanting to spray.Even wild ones only spray as a last resort.They are fun to have around and always getting into trouble.
2:10 HE DOES BUNNY KICKS 😍
I was sitting in a park one day and 3 little skunks came to investigate me- then they play wrestled next to me for like a half hour. It was so cool
Yeah, they get a bad rap. Skunks will only spray you as a last resort. Since you just sat there, they treated you as playtime furniture lol.
I had a couple of little skunks that I fed along with 3 foxes and several raccoons. I had some close encounters with the skunks but never got sprayed, thankfully. They are so cute.
They are super curious little animals.
@@LaundryFaerie Friend of mine told me, she was sitting on her friends porch when she felt something furry brush her leg. She thought it was the friends cat, so she reached her hand down and pet the fluff ball for a few minutes without really looking. Then the critter walked off and it was a wild skunk. I couldn't imagine how I'd react in that situation hehe.
Just like people, it seems that skunks vary in temperament. I have seen those who seemed very relaxed and easygoing, and one or two who flipped their tails up right away. Calm and collected retreat saved us from any grief. ;-)
Their practice stomps are soooo cute. He's like "This is my butt. There are many like it but this one is mine"
Hahaha literally lol
🤣😭🥺🤣
This comment made my day
dead 💀 😁😁😁
Thank you for the best laugh I have had today!
They have balance issues when young because their claws actually function as toes on their front feet. That age the claws aint grown long enough to provide the support and balance.
He's like a little ferret playing around in the cage with his butt sticking up all the time aww
Such a cute little stinker💝
Yep!
Soo cute :D
What in the world 🌎 😳 🦨 Even stomping skunks are too adorable. ☺ 💗
My nephew wanted to know what kind of a kitty that 🦨 was 💙 ••• 😁 😆🤣••• 💨

Baby Skunk does the cutest stomps..... I've been tricked to look at a skunk's butthole for like 3 mins! 😂😂😂 touché Dodo
@@zaytaz9331against the Geneva convention 😂😂😂
@@MurphySullivan 🤣 lol
😂😭
LMAO!!!🤣🤣🤣
Yeah we were all tricked. But we survived and can watch another video. Just not skunk butts. Baby skunk was still cute as heck and he grew up so beautifully.
I had a friend who kept a skunk in their house. It acted like one of their pet dogs, by running to the door when the dog did going outside to potty, and you knew he was coming to you when you heard his little toe nails tapping on the floor running to greet you.. he ate dog food and veggies. They said they had his ordor glands removed when he was some weeks old. I was never afraid of him, like i said he was just like the indoor pets...very sweet...
We had a skunk when I was 12 that we kept inside and i remember her cute scratching the garage door to come back in. She used a litter box.
You are an awesome human being! Thank you for rehabilitating these little gorgeous skunks and then releasing them back into their natural habitat, you are wonderful.💘💞💘
I had a pet skunk when I was a kid. We got her from a neighbor that didn't want her anymore and they knew my mother was an animal lover. She had already been descented. Her name was Flower. She would sleep with me and when she got down off the bed and wanted back up she would pull the covers off onto the floor to wake me up. Lol Skunks are actually pretty smart.
Aww thats so cute thats probably what I would've named it too
@@neonice Descenting is kind of cruel to do from what I recall anyway. Legitimately just get a skunk from a baby and treat it will the utmost respect and care, and it will never spray you.
I work at a vet hospital, and we did this surgery on a skunk once. He was going to be used as an ambassador animal at the local wildlife center. Hew was raised by humans and was very sweet. The surgery is awful we had to cover everything in surgery in plastic. It is almost impossible to do the surgery with out the gland leaking. The whole hospital smelled like skunk for a week. What was worse was the surgery took so long we had to split it in two. One for each gland. So after he healed from the first one we had to do it all over again.
That's very cute I love skunks and other animals. And I see why someone would name there skunk flower. Because the Disney Bambi movie. 🦨🌹
I always wanted a Pepe Le Pu (minus the smell)
I could never do this. I get too attached to animals. Id never be able to do the right thing and release them. This lady is a hero.
I would be the same way.
When they're like your children you want them to succeed on their own.
I fostered cats and this year I had a fail foster, which means I adopted her and she can stay with me for the rest of her life. If I would foster other animals they would also become foster fails 😂 I can't say goodbye to them 😭
@@Maliceah But you never stop worrying about them. That's the part the scares me.
Me either.. 🙂
Such a cutie patootie!💗
The baby skunk reminds me so much of Trump when he was little. (-:

Skunk are so cute,when they aren't trying to fart on you cause you spooked it
Oh it's more than a fart. My poor Labrador got sprayed twice in his lifetime and whew! He was a stinky boy for about a week and a half.
@@ARiddle1986 The smell lasted on my dog for so long
Hey, we all fart a little when we’re spooked. Or is it just me? 🤔
@@andirandolph8830 🤣
🤗🤗🤗
I helped rescue a baby skunk this year and at that age their ability to "spray" is more like a fart. They can't quite do the damage they can later in life. I miss that little skunk
I’d miss him too but be happy you helped an animal survive :)
so is it that their spray glands fully develop when they mature into adulthood? this article says that some are able to spray at only weeks old, even. i'm just wondering how that woman didn't get sprayed
@@thejwvariety because skunks spray when they're scared. and why would you be afraid of the person that raised you?
My wife and I had a pet skunk when we were first married: he was a lot of fun and a great pet. The musk glands are removed at about 3-4 weeks and you have to get them by the time they are about 4-5 weeks old: you bottle feed them for the first 2-3 weeks, keep them with you constantly and let them imprint on you. They use a litter box like a cat or can be trained to go outside. Ours was brown and white, ate Eukanuba dog food and some select scraps that we provided. He'd climb up in my lap to nap and get his back and ears scratched, would play with our cat, and was the most inquistive animal you can imagine. Yes, when they get unhappy with you or are playfully aggressive the will stomp those front feet and point their rear at you. Meeting people at the door with him on my shoulder was a lot of fun - people didn't know what to do when confronted by a skunk. We had to give him up when I joined the Marine Corps. In recent years I started looking into getting another one but the legeslature in my state for some reason decided to outlaw ownership of skunks - stupid. They make GREAT pets.
We had one back in the 70s. Bought him through a pet shop, they came from a skunk farm in Minnesota. He was so kewl. Teeth like razors. God help around chicken or cheese. We fed him dog food I think, cause cat food had too much protein. The hand stomps are his warning signs to others, leave me alone or you'll pay. The back stomps are kind of priming the pump. The feet have to on the ground so they can use the muscles to do the spraying. They are very clean, have very little non-offensive body or fur odor and take perfectly to a litter box. He loved riding on my shoulder when I was driving. THAT got some looks. A meter reader came in one day, and almost freaked when he found the little guy guarding the meter he was trying to read. His bed was in that utility room. Later, he would get under one side of a vanity table and then work the bottom drawer open a bit, then climb up to nest in the drawer. Superb pets. His sprayer was clipped and cauterized before we got him. He had to have shots. Sadly pneumonia claimed him.
I think skunks have evolved with that defense mechanism to keep away all the animals and people that would cuddle them to death in nature due to their incredibly cute appearance.
If I could get ahold of them without being sprayed, I would probably cuddle them and never let them go!
One of my teachers in high school had a pet skunk back when he was a kid (it was orphaned, and the local Ranger knew his family and asked him if he wanted to try to save it, so he raised it by hand). Apparently it was extremely friendly and enjoyed being petted and held, so much so that it would run out to greet visitors and sometimes inadvertently scare people away if they weren't aware it was a tame pet.
No God just made them that way!
@@Hannah-lw5zw Don't bring religion into this. Keep your religious views to yourself. THANKS!
@@Hannah-lw5zw - No, they evolved. There's too much consistent evidence for evolution in every field of science to ignore. Saying "Goddidit" is intellectually lazy.
We had a skunk when I was a kid. He used to stamp at you two times as a warning, on the third stamp he would swing his backside around and would try to spray you, but would poop everywhere instead. Needless to say we tried not to piss him off too often. 😂
No pun intended
Lol, a broken skunk?
@@gazepskotzs4 He was de-scented. So yeah he kinda was broken. 😁
That's funny!
I knew my sharts would come in handy at the office someday.
I love skunks! We have an array that's lived near my family's home for at least 30 years. Every year the parents bring their new babies to show em off (and show em a good spot to get a meal).
0:03 well I’m dead from cuteness ❤
ME TOO EVERY TIME ALWAYS LOVE IT SO MUCH 😍😍😍
ok but how did i nOT KNOW SKUNKS COULD BE THIS ADORABLE WTF-
In the 50's my mom had a pet skunk. Said they were very affectionate and playful and super smart. It would sleep around her neck when they were in the car. One day my dad drives through the gate of the Army post where he was stationed. The guard looks in the car and says, "That's a beautiful skunk stole, ma'am." That's when Pepe' (yes really) picked up his head and looked at the guy. This was long before I was born, but mom said the big tough MP turned 5 shades of pale, screamed and locked himself in the guard shack.
@@hikerbro3870 that's hilarious!!! 😄😄😄
Is there a baby mammal that isn't cute?
*meeep meep meep meep*
@@limiv5272 idk
When I was a kid we rescued a baby skunk, starving and in bad shape. We had him fixed so he couldn't spray. When he got mad he hissed, stomped and then turned to spray us. We leashed trained him. He played with the dogs.
against the law in lots of places
My gay Uncle Rick had two of them as pets as well, he always had a joke about once you remove the 'stink sacks' they're just like cats.
@@atomeyes99 not here it isn’t… pet skunks are very common in these parts and vets will remove the glands IF they are in-house pets raised from babies… they are usually removed between 4 and 6 weeks of age…
I always wanted a pet skunk to answer the front door with me. Can you imagine? 😂😂😂😂😀
@@debbie4503 been there… done that… got the T-shirt :) it is rather funny though to be honest…
This lady who rescued is an angel.❤️❤️❤️
Thanks for helping little skunker.
i didnt know thats how skunks sprayed.i thought they just did it while running away. looking you in the eye like that while spraying is kinda funny and badass.
But the smell is really bad ass too lmao
Some of them will run at you (while in a handstand) in order to spray you. Then you know you REALLY went too far.
@@notconvincedgranny6573 thats hilarious!
I didn't even get that warning when I was a teenager.....my friend's dog had one cornered in the barn and we tried to help it escape...and that was our "thanks" for helping it escape, haha.
@@StormLaker Awe! Lol! Poor little thing must have been so scared and confused. Good on you guys though! You can always tell which boys are going to make the best men.
I was biking home one night in the rain, and found some stopped cars, along with a pack of baby skunks aimlessly milling around in the middle of the road. I got to play crossing guard and prevent oncoming traffic from hitting them. I then directed them to where I hoped their mother was (one side of the road had good hiding spots, the other didn't.) I used a wet T-shirt as a capture net to get 3 of them across that didn't seem to know where to go. I went home slightly stinky. It was a very cute experience though. They were adorable, and shockingly happy to crawl over my feet.
Oh my GOD! 😆😆💗💗 That is adorable and YOU are an awesome person!👍😁 Thank you for your stinky crossing-guard duty 😊
Aww! Thats a stompin stinker right there! 🥰
What a lovely story, I am so happy that you saved him. The world needs more animal lovers like you....and me! God bless you compassionate lady. 😊❤
One of the most feared non-violent creatures to send people darting in the other direction, and also one of the most beautifully coloured and shiny coats among animals. ❤️
People darting in the other direction helps to keep them safe....until they get hit by a car.😕
I love the shiny coats! I hate seeing anything hit on the road but always think about how beautiful that coat is.
They are able to bite and are able to be infected with rabies. They are a cool color.
Yes black and white just like a panda bear.
Yep, Skunks & Opossum are way over feared.
My aunt and uncle had a de-skunked skunk. He was protective of them and the house. He'd do that stomping with his butt turned at you. It was really cute.
I want a guard skunk for my house wtf 🥺
yeah i dont think people realize that pet skunks get desprayed so they cant,,, ya know,,, spray lmao
did you ever find out, on how their spray sack(or whatever it's called) is removed?
Island Smilin' they get a simple surgery i think to get their scent glands removed
That's too bad. Skunks should remain wild.
He is too cute for any amount of words ❤
Those stomps are actually how they warn predators to get back. And if that doesn't work, skunks will raise their tails in the air, and spray. Even at 10 feet in the distance, skunks can spray with perfect aim.
1:43 did anyone else see 2 skunks?
Yes, and it really is another skunk, not a mirror.
She’s probably a specialized caretaker, given how she states at the end she ‘usually’ releases them around 6 pounds, so she’s probably got this down to a science.
@Thoughts she also said that he didnt have siblings so she would get him plushies his size yo play with...
@@Hamhockss - When they're young, she has to isolate them in their own cages. Especially bc he was underweight, he couldn't be socialized just yet. That's why he had the stuffed animals for company.
At first I thought it was a mirror then I remembered her saying she is a skunk rescue
It’s so weird how he instantly know what he has to do .He’s like don’t mess with me .So funny.😆
Instincts are such a fascinating thing!
An instinct literally in his DNA honed over millions of years and millions of generations... likewise small rodents etc instantly recognise the silhouette of hawks/falcons and run for cover, despite the fact they may never have seen one previously.
@@trishaeaten-cox4787correct. Pretty much exactly the same 😂
Adorable ❤
I’m so jealous of all the animals who’s instincts are innate, not learned. It’s really amazing. No one teaches a spider to weave a web as it spelunks at crazy heights to catch its supper, but they do it. Fascinating
Easy to go Christine! Skunker will be the future for his kind from your kindness! 💝💋😍
I love their stomping. Cutest thing ever.
Was I the only one bobbing and weaving every time it's rear end faced the camera.
Lmfao!
Yes
I didn't bob and weave but every time he did it, my nose would scrunch up. 😄
Nope!! I assure you you weren't!
You are. That’s not normal.
Did you all see how gorgeous and fluffy his tail was at the end? She did such a great job!❤
Brave woman rescuing and raising skunks!
Thanks for helping our wonderfull little critters.
Cute lil Fart Kitten! I've got a momma that everytime she has kits, she shows up at my place because she knows her and the babies are safe! They're hilarious watching the play and wrestle around! One of the things I like most about being in the country is all the babies! Possums, skunks, raccoons, bunnies, I've had them all out here!
You're sooo lucky!!!!!
That is cool,Love that!
Do the adult skunks ever warm up to you? I've been giving food to skunks (and other critters) for 3 years and the skunks that have been seeing me for their entire lives still treat me with absolute disdain. I don't mind; I think their assholeishness is endearing.
First time I’ve heard ‘fart kitten’.
I agree! Living in the country down south, I've also gotten quite a few young armadillos, too! And seen my fair share of baby gators (or as we call them, swamp puppies) lol
It's amazing how much is instinctual! He didn't have other skunks to learn from yet he knew how to do all that
Genetic memory ; sometimes confused with reincarnation!
Op, look at how the cuttle fish makes that geometric pattern in the ocean floor. Yes, its genetic.
Also, why so many blk kids take bicycle? Thats why 😅
@alex Yes....
He is a cutie pie ,thank you for helping him
He is so sweet, I want. There is just something about baby animals!!!!
Cute little guy. One night, a hundred years ago, I was halfway drunk walking home in the dark and I saw this poor little kitten all alone. I called it but it didn't come to me so I followed it and tried to pick it up. It ran away and I just continued on my way. Keep in mind that I'm probably 15 years old. I walked into my house, hoping my parents didn't want to talk to me, since I smelled like beer. My Mom screams, what the hell is that smell? That kitty was a skunk and sprayed me and I didn't even know it. I couldn't smell it. It over-powered the smell of beer though. Had to throw away all my clothes and my favorite hiking boots.
So you were born in like 1900.
Love it lol
🤣🤣🤣
Vampires have mums....good to know
@@samogx86 1958. I always had trouble with math. lol.
Skunkies are awesome! I had one as a pet, he was a yr and a half when I got him from an auction. He was never socialized before that so I wasn't able to bond with him like I had hoped. I eventually gave him to someone who had more knowledge then me and now he has 11 other skunkies to play with.
Did he spray you at all?
God Bless you for what you are doing... ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
That has got to be one of the cutest things I have ever, EVER seen !! 😂💞 Adorable and yes, he does give me a *crazy vibe lol Makes him even more special ❤️🦨
He's so cute! I never knew they stomped.
Yeah that's the intimidation signal they're getting ready to spray you :) Stomp the front paws like mad, then when they start whipping their hind end around at you, you should've been running at that point lol.
@@Christy.1 we live in a city and have urban foxes, possums, raccoons, and skunks. I keep warning my family - if you go outside after dark look before you step out. I learned that one night when I surprised a skunk while taking out the trash. I saw that little stomp dance and, yes, I never knew I could move that fast!
@@pawwalker3492 LOL :)
i dient either. only knew it from rabbits
Just like bunnies! :D
Most skunks or polecats as we call them are pretty laid back. I don’t harm them around my place they just eat bugs and worms and they are cute. Love those critters ❤️
...and chicken's
Could you answer some questions about skunks that I have? My experience with them is don't bother them and they won't bother you. But why does it always STINK of skunk around where I live? It seems so unlikely that they are running into that many other animals. Also, what is to prevent a pet skunk from spraying? If you have a pet skunk and they get ticked off, why don't they spray?
@@christinebegley4130 Cars run over them and you get the smell is the usual answer. They spray predator's or dogs that try and bother them and just not other random animals in general.
@@Freon1969 Not to drag out this question, but there is a highway like a block away. Other than that there are no cars. Could the smell travel that far if they are run over? Sometimes the smell of skunk is incredibly strong, as opposed to just a regular smell. I don't have anything else to do so I'm trying to solve this mystery.
@@christinebegley4130 I know I don't want a pig farm upwind but I do not know about how far a skunk smell will go. Did you check for road kill? In the summer there is "skunk weeds" ? IDK.
♥️ Thank you for love & kindness ❤
Very brave to foster skunks, hats off to you.
oooo Tough guy! It must be so frustrating for him to act fierce and receive "awws" and giggles in response. Love him!
He is exactly like a rescue I had years ago, I named Baby Stink. His mother was killed, and he was still nursing. He was such a joy, and of course would always "display" his bum, and stomp, and talk.
This lil baby is so damn cute it makes ya want to go out and buy one!
Ohhh the cuteness 💙 what a precious doll baby. That little stomping is so sweet. Would be really hard to let him go
Worked at a summer camp for several years where we had reverse-colored skunks. White with just thin white stripes. Almost looked albino. I was a nature director so would be out late at night watching the critters and such and the whole family troupe would come out and figure 8 thru my legs. At first I was incredibly nervous they'd spray, but if I made no sudden movements, they were just fine. Not once did I ever get sprayed and got a whole education on the different varieties of striped skunks we have here in the US.
I have a skunk that comes to visit and he is almost pure black, he has one little white patch on his chest. The first time I saw him I wasn't sure he was a skunk.
Yeah, they're pretty misunderstood. My cousin works with the game and fish commission and she's rescued quite a few orphans and raised them up until they could be released on their own. She said that skunks spray only as a last resort because it actually hurts them to spray. I can imagine that releasing something that toxic from your butthole probably does make it raw for awhile!😂
@@ayndie38 Never heard the hurt part before...but seriously....that would make sense. lol They're super little critters for sure.
I think I've seen a skunk that was white before too. I thought it was a pomeranian
You have to be real gangsta to raise a skunk LOL LOL. Everytime he turned his butt to the camera I ducked
Just too funny. 1,000 likes if only I could!
Right every time he showed his lil booty I moved to the side 😂….she gangsta 4real 🤣
🤣"Guns ablazing!" Pow, pow!
He's beautiful. In the 80s we found a baby brother & sister alone in the middle of the dirt road by our house. We raised them till they were old enough to be on their own. So cute. Very clean. Used litter. Lots of romping & stomping. Butts aimed to spray, but they were well behaved. Pepe & Fifi. They used to come back to visit us from time to time. They'd eat food with the barn cats.
I’m in a big city so theres a lot of people but it’s surrounded by canyons. The animals have gotten really comfortable with people because of that. There’s tons of skunks out at night but they just ignore you as we walk past each other. I’ve come to really like seeing them around once I finally learned to trust they won’t spray me, they have the cutest faces.
If you ever have the occasion to see a fully grown skunk ( in the wild ) doing that “ stomp “ in your general vicinity. RUN 😂 LOL
I lived like a block and a half from the restaurant I worked at as a server. I walked to work every day. One day, 3/4ths of the way to work, I saw a skunk. I had my nametag on, apron, all ready to go. And all I could think of was how terrible I would smell if it hit me, and how much nobody would believe me if I called in saying I couldn't work my shift because I got sprayed by a skunk. I remember the skunk jumping up in the air and doing a 180 landing with his rear end facing me. And I instantly did the same thing, but sideways. The skunk missed me, luckily. I made sure to let the rest of the crew know how close they were to being short-staffed that night.
Now you don't have to run just back away she's telling you what he's going to do
Testify; I met a momma skunk and her three babies walking on a trail at the Air Force base. When she stopped and stomped, then pointed it at me, I knew it was time to leave.
If you're reading this you have potential to create great things. Yes. You.
Yes but not with you.
🙏🏾 Thank you
Oooh, how beautiful he is!!! Little baby.
Thank you for loving these little gifts 🤩🤩🤩💖💖
Smol skunk: “Fear me”. Hooman: “No you’re cute.” Smol skunk: “.....”
B- baka ( ˶•̀ _•́ ˶)
The "aft defense nozzle" is already well developed even before he could walk properly 😍
Lol, love that
😂😂😂
I’ve noticed other baby skunks behave same. This so cool. Sassy creatures!
Thank you for taking this little guy in! Your his guardian (human) angel!!!!😇🙏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼
He's a feisty little fellow. lol I think he will do just fine in the wild.
Skunks and pigs are the best. Dogs are stupid tho 🤮
You should know that is not true at all. Dogs are highly intelligent, especially emotionally.
@@Secret-sw8ih I agree. I've seen this with my dogs.
It’s amazing how incredible humans are with animals. Some people are born to help them get back on their feet.
animals do that to each other much more than humans do to animals... ?
Thank you for being an amazing human and caring for this baby.❤🐾🦨
Good job. The world needs more good moms like you 😀
It's like when cats does the side wards crab death move. Terrifying. He's gorgeous. Love from the UK
Somewhat off topic, but this hilarious: My high school bf was best friends with the dumbest guy ever. When they were at the beach one day, my bf told his friend that if you put a crab into a glass of beer it will get drunk and then will start walking forward. Sure enough, the guy caught a crab one day and put it in beer. He pulled it out, laid it on the sand, and eagerly waited for this drunk crab to walk forward. Unfortunately, he would never see this miracle of nature. Not because it's stupid and impossible, but because he left it in beer too long and it drowned. The most laughable part of this story is that this dude spent several weeks trying to catch another crab. His plan was to get it drunk, but pull it out of the beer quicker than he did with the first drunk crab. Still no clue that a crab (even a drunk one), will never walk forward.
He’s trying to be big and brave with his weapon that is so cute he’s absolutely beautiful🥰💕
You gotta start small
Sweetheart soul! Thank you so much for caring for him!
