So, here's our new addition to our zoo. I'm calling it Pepe. I think it was a boy, but who the heck knows. All I know is that I'm not gonna get too close to it to figure it out. LOL
It runs away whenever it sees us for too long, which is good. I don't want it to get to used to us. I think it's a pretty big skunk. It's about the size of Oreo, with a bushier tail. It's coat is really nice. You would think that being out in the wild, the skunk's coat would be all matted and dirty. But this one was fairly clean. Like someone was taking a comb to its coat and cleaning it.
And they have pretty long claws, another reason not to get too close to the skunk. I mean if the stink factor wasn't enough, claws are a second reason.
It's been back a few times this week so far, so we'll see how long it stays in the neighborhood.
