Baby skunks climbing

Skunks are surprisingly determined climbers, despite their short legs and lack of gripping toes. The three orphan skunks here have not quite figured out what to do once they reach the top, but it's only a matter of time (and of course climbing is easier when your siblings aren't biting your tail!)

How old do they need to be before being released?

I could probably release them now, but I like to grow them bigger so they're less like to become Great- horned Owl snacks. They've got another 1 to 2 months before released - when they're 3 to 4 months old.

I love how they're pulling the climbing one down, this is why skunks will never escape.

Oh my god, that's insanely adorable!
