I just want to thank everyone who’s been so selfless and donated to help me with Amelia’s operation. The goal hasn’t reached yet so please keep sharing!! 🤍 I’m so extremely grateful and really can’t do this without your help. She has a broken leg and needs to get plates to fix the breakage, but I can not afford that operation on my own right now. 🦨 She means the world to me and I don’t want her to suffer. The full story on what happened is in the link on my bio. Please check it out and please, if you can, donate. 🙏 Here’s a few old videos with her that might put a smile on your face 😊 Thank you. #skunkstagram #skunksofinstagram #petsofinstagram #petsofinsta #exoticpets #petskunk #cosplaycommunity #signalboost #gofundme https://www.instagram.com/p/CBaeKK0Dieq/?igshid=1gmpwa9bc877l

Skunks, Part 2: There are actually two species of Skunks in Canada, but the Striped Skunk (Mephitis mephitis, shown here) is the one widespread across the country, while the Western Spotted Skunk (Spilogale gracilis) enters Canada at the Southern end of British Columbia. The rest of my post is specifically about the Striped Skunk. The most distinctive feature of Skunks is their smell. Newborn Skunks are blind and deaf, and yet they already contain the defensive musk (although they only learn to discharge it properly at a few weeks old). Skunks are hesitant to release their musk, as they only have a small amount (though that small amount, a few teaspoons, is extremely potent). They will attempt at first to dissuade any potential attackers with a display of drumming feet and hissing. If you're witness to this, it's best to take the Skunk at its word, and leave it alone. . . .

Woodland friends! Sadly may have to deal with this one later as it looks to be a juvenile and may be burrowing in the fern patch on the side of my parents house. Appears to be making a habit of foraging in the lawn between 4pm and 8pm, must really feel comfortable. #mammals #mammalsofinstagram #skunk #skunksofinstagram #mephitidae #wildlife #nature #stripedskunk (at Wiscasset, Maine) https://www.instagram.com/p/BzbarZmFt1_/?igshid=1gys85tt5yybq

A #TongueOutTueaday animal quiz! Whats the connection between skunks and chemistry? 🤷🏻‍♂️ If you get sprayed by a skunk, you need chemistry to remove the stink! Side note:Tomato juice is not the best option. But a mix of hydrogen peroxide, baking soda and dish-soap will do the trick! (You can easily look up the recommended measurements online.) This combination is the most effective because when mixed,it will break down the sulfur & carbon based chains that are part of the chemicals in the skunk’s spray that make the stink. . . . . . #themoreyouknow #Skunk #cuteface #wildlifeeducation #skunksofinstagram #animalsofinstagram #instaAnimal #zookeeper #nature #wildlife_inspired #wildlife #boopmynose #boopthesnoot (at San Diego, California) https://www.instagram.com/p/BqJMQv7Hq4n/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=1vquh6pipjo1f
