If so, pictures please. Pictures of common pets are welcome too. Bonus points for skunks.

Not all too uncommon, but they're a fun distraction from work.

Strictly not pets, but I'm getting my 2nd of 3 pre-exposure rabies vaccinations this weekend so I can work with skunks and the other rabies vector species (bats, coyotes, fox, groundhogs, raccoons) next spring!

While I haven't been able to handle them, I have prepared their food. Out of all the baby animals formulas we have, skunk milk smells the best!

I joined up to work with the owls and other raptors, but all the animals we get are fascinating in their own ways.
