Folks, in my personal experience, I have found skunks to be among the friendliest of creatures I've ever encountered. They respond especially well to baby talk.

My older brother had a de-sacked skunk as a pet years back. He named it Whitewall. It became somewhat domesticated, but mostly stayed nocturnal. Soft fur on their heads, but coarse hair on their bodies.
Where I live they’re tearing down the wooded areas and building homes, running the skunks out. Almost every night I can go out on my back deck and smell skunk spray in the air. Yuk. You have to be careful walking around here at night, you stumble upon one of these things and you’re gonna get it.

When I first came to the US wife #1 was in the back yard and shouted to me in the house "Quick! there's a coon in the yard".
I quickly rushed out expecting to face some drunk black gentleman for fisticuffs but it was just a racoon eating some rotting fruit.

skunks are awesome,, coons,, the 4 legged kind are also.
Iv had both as pets,, ester was my pet coon,, she was crazy funny to play with,, I kept her till she had baby's but never really caged her till I moved from my rent house to the one I purchased, then I let her run wild and she got knocked up and took her down to the pond and showed her the hollow tree, she lived for several years , always showing up with her babys every litter to show them off.

Once on an early morning walk i came face to face with a skunk we both run away in opposite directions. That was my closest call yet.

I always talk to skunks when we run into each other,, they never run from me ,, you dont have to worry about getting sprayed unless they are tail up and tail facing you

Raccoons' claws are as dexterous as a human hand. I have mistakenly left out sealed canned goods on my picnic table while camping overnight... if the container is openable by human hands...they were also able to gain entry. Crafty little devils.

I hit a raccoon one night and you would’ve thought I hit a wall. Stupid thing ran right out in front of me. 🙄

I hit one with my Jetta and it ripped the whole front bumper skin off the car,, another time my dog chased one up under my TDI Jetta and it fucked up the shift cables and I lost reverse till I got new cables

If you drill a hole in a fallen tree and drive three angled nails into it, then put something shiny in the hole they will reach in and grab the shiny and not let go and get stuck because they can't get their hand out while it has something in it. Now you have a pet coon that loves you.
