But the skunk had the advantage, if scared, of a weapon of mass desecration ... It's good to be back amongst friends and colleagues |

Skunks are more likely to be rabid than raccoons! Hopefully none of you were wearing sandals!!! |

Skunks are more likely to be rabid than raccoons! Hopefully none of you were wearing sandals!!! Sandals are not allowed at Scout camp for several reasons - this being one of the less likely reasons. The skunk I had investigate me was obvioulsly trying to figure out if my shoe laces were tasty. BOINC WIKI |

Raccoon viruses, of course, sadden me, but I doubt the virus is 100% fatal. Eventually raccoons with some natural immunity to this virus will survive to reproduce themselves. Urban raccoon populations may fall drastically for some time, but eventually they will rise again. Natural selection seems harsh, but it is nature's way. Raccoons are survivors. They are a most adaptable species. |
