Mama skunk knows she can come to our yard and get leftovers and old eggs for dinner. This past week she brought her new family. I couldn't get them all in one picture. There were 5 skunks at once, checking out everything. She had 4 babies this year. It's not easy trying to take pictures of skunks... trying not to get sprayed 'n all. They are so stinkin' cute though. The babies LOVED the leftover mashed potatoes w/sour cream in them. They actually had a little fight over those. The babies are about 5-7 inches from nose to back legs (not that I'm going to go out and measure). I was at the back window, leaning out, so I was only about 2-3 feet away.
Look at the claws on that egg, WOW!
Check out mom's claws.

They are SO cute! We used to have babies on 9th Drive too. Too bad they're smelly.
