Did you know that if you happen to encounter a skunk in the wild, it isn't necessarily going to end with your getting sprayed? Keep calm, stay quiet, and remember the following:
Skunks will typically stomp their front paws at you; scoot backwards, then lunge forward to stomp their front paws again; repeating this display two or three times as a warning, before they finally lift their tail to spray. This should give you ample time to start backing away slowly...and then boogie on out of the area, before they drop their stink bomb! Phew!
While a chance encounter in the wild with a skunk doesn't have to stink, you know what absolutely would?
