A rescue :) So happy that the worker figured out how to reunite the babies with their mama! When I started reading the news clip, I had a sinking feeling that the story was going to end with the worker taking the babies to some sort of animal rescue place. Thank goodness he realized that the mama was only off getting food and that she would be back for her kits. Good job, human!!! ID: 1930855 ·

He/she??? is small, seems young, and has an exceptionally grand tail. A better looking skunk I cannot imagine. Name suggestions? ID: 1931343 ·

Hard to tell if skunks are male or female, unless little ones are trailing behind. Skunks don't stand up on their hind legs like raccoons. ID: 1931414 ·

Eric and I discussed it, and our mutual favorite entry is Wilfred. If Wilfred turns out to be a girl, we will change over to Wilfrieda. We photographed a baby possum last night, so we will need another name. I'll see if I can get Eric to send me a link to the photo. ID: 1931977 ·

Thought it would be nice if Angela had a kinda official name for the back yard. And this popped up in my head. ID: 1932382 ·
