[nagdu] Skunk!

[Larry D Keeler]

Well as for skunks, they have adapted to live in our cities. I live in a fairly populated area and the skunks are really comfortible after twilight.

  Good advise  the animals were here before we moved in.  
  Be alert and stay safe.

  They're probably just like most of the other critters . The humans moved in
  and took away their natural habit and food, and we wonder why they come
  bother us... So, any place that could be a shelter or food source for any
  type of wild animal, stay away.

  A good thing to know about skunks is that they're nocturnal. A park time
  after roughly 11-11:30pm could align the stars for a skunking, especially if
  there are bushes or other hiding places around for creatures. I think I also
  read somewhere that skunks like to hang around garbage cans and dumpsters
  too.
