Thats cute ! :) Can I ask why the stomp for? O.o ?

[MaryCummins]

@Simplicityatitsbest1 If they are approached by a predator, they will stomp their feet to try to scare the animal away. They will poof up their tails to look bigger and show you their stripes. They will also do hand stands so you can really see their stripes. Then they will start aiming their butt at you. If you have not been scared away by this display, then they will spray you. Here they are just playing, kind of like practicing.

[22zmynumber]

[tamayaya1]

[SSSRM123]

can you have a pet baby skunk i want one so badly because there soooo adorable and would u be able to like train them to not spray you?

[DemonFoxFangs]

@SSSRM123

Yes... if it's legal in your state... it's expensive, though... they can't take processed foods. So, you'll have to prepare their meal times. Raw red meat could kill a skunk. they're omnivores. And yes.... when young, can be taught not to spray. If they like you enough, that is...

[saradoman992]

If they didn't spray I bet they would be delightful pets.

[DemonFoxFangs]

One time I was on my bike and there was a mother skunk crossing the street with 5 baby skunkies that were the size of hampsters.

[TheFoxandTheRabbit]

[Cruithne3753]

Adorable! This makes me grin stupidly like a gleeful little kid! :-D

I sooo much want to see skunks in real life, the nearest zoo with some is a three hour train ride away.

[Xzndr]

There are skunks all around my house. I hate that, I don't want to get sprayed.

[nyquilpinches]

yeah im with you.. all these poeple talking about wanting to see them... hell i wish i never knew the smell haha

my friend from out of town came in a week ago and was all OMG A SKUNK!!! and ran towards it haha ... as you can guess funnyness happened after that!

[HYAAALP]

@Xzndr: You gotta admit, though, they're adorable even when they're spraying.

[blackfreddie223]

let's hope you get sprayed then, maybe you'll change your views

[markdon16]

Aww so cute-just beautiful-great vid.

[majorferret]

if that isnt the cutest thing,then tell me what is?

[KMRagan]

Awe, they are so cute. They love that stomp game. You can tell they are just screwing around, but being they are wild it would still make me a little nevous having my face that close to the business end.

[MaryCummins]

Their vision as you know isn't that good. If I were to walk away, then walk back, they wouldn't recognize me and might let me have it, especially the smaller girl skunk. Females are always wilder, at least with wild skunks.

[strawberryme08]

they are cute! I loved seeing the oens at the zoo

[xxemxxx1]

There soooo cute :)

[RustRooster]

[1BustedMyth]

Kangaroos are too big. I'll take a wallaby ;-)
