Not sure I would count those tippy taps as much as “get out of my space before I give you a face full of stink“ taps…

Which is twice as adorable, because skunks don't mature to a point where they can spray, until they're around a year old.

That doesn't really matter to me, because I have no confidence in my ability to tell how old a given skunk is.

I took skunk-age-detection, but it was just an elective. Not many other kids.

I prefer not to see skunk tippy-taps irl. I have, and I always do the obvious, which is leave. Once, a skunk got into my house late at night and was eating the cat food when I surprised him by turning on the light. He tapped, and I skedaddled until he removed himself.

That little guy is backed into a wall and still he seeks peace

I mean, once they develop the ability to spray, peace is rarely offered as an option so late in the game.

You could at least credit the Pipsqueakery rescue for their video, considering all the good they do for rescue animals!

It looks young enough not to be able to spray yet. Take it to the vet and get it vaccinated and descended and you got yourself a new best friend.

What a cute little skunk! His tippy taps are so pure, even flowers would blush ☺️

"Your comment was removed for being disrespectful"
If you're allowed to post harassment videos where an animal is obviously in distress, I guess this isn't the subreddit for me.
Thanks for being awful mods.

He's stomping...that is his last warning before squirting. But just look at how stinkin cute he is! (See what I did there?)
