Actually, there are a pair of skunks that live in my neighborhood. They do the rounds of all the houses here, usually on or around trash pick up day, and scavenge to their heart's content. Few nights ago I went out to get my lighter out of the car after I left it there, and almost ran into him. He scared me way more than I scared him (or her). I tried scaring him away (from a distance), but he'd leave, and come back, over and over. So I went inside and found a book of matches. Damn surburban terrorist animals. >< Wanna come take them off my hands, Vactom?
I grew up on Long Island, and there was a sump (where the water from street drainage empties) about 2 blocks from my house in one direction, and a nursery (lots of trees) about 3 blocks in the other. We had raccoons and opossums (horrifyingly ugly critters) from one, and bats from the other. Some occasional small snakes and frogs (or toads?), and a whole bunch of rabbits. But never a skunk. I guess it makes me sound like a chicken, but I'm far more afraid of those guys. The rest of that stuff...yettez and rasins? I don't even have a clue what they are. Can you translate?
we have a shit ton of peacocks up here. there fucking ANNOYING. get on ur roof and make scary ass noises. where i lived in texas we used to have a lot of raccoons. those little sons of bitches are mean as hell.
We have Wolverines, Elephants, Crocodiles, Mountain Lions, Snakes, Cape Buffalo, Deer, Tigers, Bears, Hippos, Gorillas, Moose, Barracuda, Killer Whales, Coyotes, Bats... o yes they all live right next door.
i think you can have skunks as pets and get there stink gland removed??? maybe not though but im pretty sure you can, in which case it would be sweet them things are cool
