July 16th Striped Skunks

Yes, skunks.
All of a sudden, no one's concerned about bears.
But watch out, don't step on a skunk rug. They move like a black & white floor mat, all together, all at once.
And talk about strength in numbers.
Make some noise, claps hands, stomp around....they don't run away but come towards you,...all 6 or 7 or eight of them.
Cute from a distance. Please tell me the 'nest' is half a mile away and don't mention that the young stay with their 'mum' for up to a year after birth.
Oh, please bring back the bears. I can deal with bears.
