we know them from the cartoon: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pepé_Le_Pew how much does one need to be aware, and careful of the aroma potential?!

hola dhania and helen, YES! they are very cute and very stinky indeed!
there's a female skunk who lives around or under my house, this is the second year that she has 3 'baby' skunks, since i've been leaving cat food outside for a homeless cats, these guys have stayed longer!

and helen! yes! you have to be very careful or they'll spray and the aroma is really really strong, lingers for hours, the mother knows me and she doesn't put the tail up when she sees me, but the kids, as you can see, eat with the tail up, a signal that they are alert... before spraying they give you other warning, like stomping their feet on the floor, and finally they turn around and spray you... thankfully this hasn't happen to me, i keep my distance :) also they know my cats, they threaten them sometimes but they have never spray them... they are really cute 'in person' too!

i like both your icon buddies, nellyb, your two new babies, huh? the cameras? and dhania, i wish i could eat yours :)
