striped skunk

Mephitis mephitis

Description:

iconic animal of N America known for the scent glands they use in defense

Habitat:

at a wildlife habitat where I'm releasing her

Notes:

This what happens when you are trying to trap woodrats and catch something else. A little catfood, a little diazapram and she was a sleepy girly - of course I a spent a cold muddy afternoon watching her sleep, as the meds kicked in on the full tummy and she was out
