June marks the beginning of baby skunk season, when skunk kits start following their mothers out of their dens.
In less than 24 hours, the Raven Ridge Wildlife Center in Washington Boro, Pennsylvania admitted 27 kits into their care.
In a Facebook post, the wildlife center in southeastern PA, described a “particularly heartbreaking case” in which a good Samaritan discovered baby skunks near an old shed.
The facility’s staff will care for the baby skunks for several months before setting them free, according to the post.
Plus, life is pretty good at the Raven Ridge Wildlife Center (though the best place for a kit skunk is at its mother’s side).
