We’ve got Skunks!
From Charles Darwin’s Voyage of the Beagle: “Conscious of its power, it roams by day about the open plain, and fears neither dog nor man. If a dog is urged to the attack, its courage is instantly checked by a few drops of the fetid oil, which brings on violent sickness and running at the nose. Whatever is once polluted by it, is for ever useless.”
This adorable pair goes everywhere together. And they seem oblivious my camera moving in to about a foot above them. The cats know to keep their distance, and they just huddle in a line watching in rapt attention.
I went closer but kept a ready stance for a quick exit…
and the little one did lift her tail once to give me a threatening wink of ole stink eye…
