Skunks give a lot of warning before they spray. Let’s decode the danger dance:

🦨The Suit: That dapper black and white tuxedo says, “I’m as stinky as I am stylish!”

🦨The Stance: Standing tall, back arched, tail raised- they’re on alert. Back up, or else…

🦨The Stomp: Their front diggers stomp firmly on the ground in an intimidating forward rush while quick hip twists threaten the stinky end. After abrupt slides backward, they quickly assess the threat, then stomp forward again.

🦨The Spray: Those who didn’t take the hint will experience the grand finale.

Safe and respectful wildlife watching always starts with space, even if it’s not a species that sprays! Body language is the best clue for how close is too close.
