It's skunk breeding season, and bless their little striped hearts, skunks aren't very fast, nor do they see very well. They lack few natural predators, and their only defense is to spray. So, basically, a skunk doesn't stand much chance when crossing the road: can't run fast, can't see well, and expects the car to back off! Little black and white optimists that are typically amicable creatures and are beneficial to our ecosystem. They eat insects and rodents. So, keep an extra eye out, give the little stinkers a "brake." Remember, they want the same things we do: to make it through another day and to take care of their families. ๐ฆจ
