Skunk



This is probably the last sequence of photos from the Shubenackadie Wildlife Park in Nova Scotia. If you missed the other photos of animals check them out on my blog - Photo of the Day Blog.

This was the first time that I had seen (and photographed) a live skunk and, while I was not surprised at the markings, it was interesting to see them as they moved constantly around the fairly large enclosure looking for food.

It was a challenge to photograph the skunks because they are black and white, the bright mid-day sun was filtering down through the canopy of leaves, and they never stopped moving. I chose to share three photos that show the markings on this interesting animal.
