In August, we showed you our juvenile spotted skunk practicing some of her first handstands! This is her today, still doing handstands😍 Spotted skunks do this as a warning before they spray, and it's very effective for scaring off predators. Next week, she'll be ready for release along with 8 of her striped skunk friends! #keepaustinwild #handstandwarning | Austin Wildlife Rescue

The West Virginia DNR is using radio-telemetry to study the habitat, home range, movement and survival of these animals. Within the last month, kits have been spotted emerging from their dens. One of the females had five little stinkers. Listen closely and you might hear one of them call out for mom! | West Virginia Division of Natural Resources | Facebook
