We have the most ridiculously cute baby skunks wandering around our neighbourhood. They have been around for over a week.

They like to play during the day time (!) near the high child traffic areas in people’s yards, like the trampoline, garden boxes, ditches, and swings. If they find a cat to play with, even better.

One child called his mom and said “come look at this cute squirrel” and at least two toddlers have walked towards one, arms outstretched, ready to cuddle the adorable pet!

We’d seen one alone, and two together, and a few days ago one of our neighbours spotted four together in her yard. We have no idea how many there are. And we’ve not seen a mom at any of the many many reported sightings.

They look so very cute, so very cuddly, and they waddle around in such a sweet and funny way, but…

Anyone here have a pet skunk or four? 🦨 🤣 🦨 🤣 🦨 🤣 🦨
