How Long Do Skunks Stay in One Place?
Scram the Skunk probably has a worse reputation than he deserves. The first association most people have with skunks is their really stinky spray. We all recoil from the smell that hits us when one of these creatures meets an untimely end on the side of a road. Anyone with an adventurous and curious dog has likely encountered the potent aroma that sticks around far too long on fur no matter how much shampoo you apply.
The truth is that these black-and-white mammals are more shy than aggressive. Their defence mechanism is offensive to your senses, but it doesn’t pose any real danger. Skunks don’t set out to harm humans or dogs, but when they feel threatened, they definitely don’t hesitate to lift their tails and take aim. Even so, having one take up residence on your property is often unwelcome, particularly if you have pets that spend time outside.
