Skunks

For the past four evenings I have seen the same skunk near our cabin but today I saw at least four more skunks in the lawn. I wasn't able to get close enough to the other skunks for photos but this one, with the all white back, is a little more friendly.



Skunks may look like a member of the cat family but they have been classified as a subfamily within the Mustelidae, or "weasel family", which includes ferrets, weasels, otters, badgers, stoats, and wolverines.
