I had difficulty finding a photo of a skunk to share here. Can you guess why? Skunks aren't the world's most popular creatures, and most photographers stay clear for good reason!
Did You Know?
Skunks are well known for spraying their enemies with a horrible smell when threatened! They live in the United States in woodland areas, but sometimes live near to towns and cities. Skunks are a nocturnal animal and look for their food at night.
Fun Fact: Skunks can spray their stinky smell as far as 12 feet!
