WE JUST GOT SKUNKED!!!
Where in the world did these come from?
After releasing some toads down in our garden we cut across the neighbors blueberry patch. There in the patch was a mama skunk with two babies. We tried not to get too close, so I only got a few photos, but we did record some video quick too!
The mama skunk was a really good mom too, and she kept grabbing one of the babies by the ear and pulling it along to help it hurry. A few times she almost rushed us, but they made it into an open field and eventually wound up in the woods. Hopefully our perimeter fence and guard dog will keep creatures like this off of our land, but this was still cool to see next door. I also managed to resist grabbing one for a "Wild-Man" video... I hear there is no cure for skunk rabies...
CHECK OUT THESE SKUNKS!

Fun video.
Cool to see them.
She is not too scare of you.
Keep on educatin'
Not too scared.
Oh wow!
When i first saw the caption, i thought otherwise and was about to tell you what to use to reduce the smell. Hahahaha.
Better to have them go than to come close. Good efforts Papa.
That was really scary. Skunk will go savage just to protect its babies from harm.
Thankfully we were okay!
I was so scared when they started charging. I thought I was going to get skunked. And I didn't know how zoomed in you were, so it was hard to tell how far away they were. Heh.
She was close, and my boy (Monster Truck) was even closer!!!
Well, you're normally ok until they raise their tail and turn around. :D
They make a great pet!
Hmmm......
How did you know it was charging? Did she have a credit card? LOL!
Nah man! When she came running at me! LOL!
"credit cards" he says...
@papa-pepper I am glad you did not have to use any Tomato Juice....................Wait a minute Tomato Juice wont get rid of the Skunk Smell but this might...................
What has been proven to work, according to a variety of sources, is a home concoction developed by Paul Krebaum and published Chemical & Engineering News back in 1993:
Mix in a large, open container and use immediately. According to Statewide IPM Program, Agriculture and Natural Resources, University of California, it can be safely used on people, pets, clothing, and furniture.
But the mix cannot be covered or stored because it can explode a closed container.
To get rid of the leftover solution, dilute it heavily with water, and pour down the drain.
Okay, mix up potion, put in closed container, leave in field, and it gets rid of skunks?
hahaha awesome! :) That is so cool you got that close to them. They did look pretty cool! :)
Yeah, I was glad a couple of the @little-peppers got to see them up close (well, close enough) too!
haha yeah that is awesome! I can't wait to have property. I love wildlife and gardening and fruit trees.
