Description
Hi there.
The man who brought the snake to the children got a little skunk as a friend. With an operation in an animal-hospital he hindered the skunk on stinking (hope I find the right words).
The children all love to pet the smooth fur of this little guy.

Hmm, yes, removal of that gland is paramount! I would be weary of their teeth though... Cheers, Clive

He is so cute, lovely and wonderful photoshot my friend, excellent capture.
Very lovely shot!
Skunks have some of the thickest and softest fur - very lush and desireable. And skunks are very sweet once they are are de-scented and neutered. We had a baby here for awhile that had been abandoned but rather than keep it as a pet and have it surgically de-scented, we opted to release it in the wild as soon as it was weaned. I used to sell skunks - up to 10 each winter - as a wildlife artist. One of my favorite small (city) mammals. Beautiful expression in this one's face.
What a beautiful face he has, and how wonderful to be able to appreciate one as a pet. I hadn't realised that they could be descented. hugs Jane xx
He's cute..
I love the toenails!
Beautiful photo.
We have a family of skunks who live in the woods near my house, and they aren't anywhere near as cute an cuddly as this guy! Good picture!
Isn't he adorable, lovely little face. I didn't realise the could be descented!!!!
Interesting pet! Similar in temperament to a domestic cat when cared for properly- although I read their diet is a bit more challenging. Nice capture and certainly full of the cute-factor! ;)
beautiful animal and shot. I have heard of people having them as pets but never seen one in a home.mostly as road kill
great shot! hope that op worked.
How sweet a creature, wonderful capture. Here it is illegal to descent and keep as pets so you'd not find a vet willing to do that. Although years ago it was possible. They claim spread of rabies is the reason, but I'd think they could vacinate like they do cats or dogs, then again, what do I know....
I have always wondered what they actually smell like. Is it as bad as they make out in all the cartoons!!!!!
Oh this is so adorable! Most wonderful capture as always :)
