How to Avoid a Skunk Attact!

Skunks will give warnings before spraying their infamous perfume. Be advised of the danger signals to avoid a bath!

Difficulty: Easy

Instructions

1. Skunks will only squirt their infamous perfume when very angry or frightened, but they always give warning.

2. A skunk will stamp both front feet at you as their first warning that you are in danger of being fumed.

3. The animal will then growl a little as a second warning and then lift it's tail. They will always aim for the eyes and they can shoot 15 to 20 feet with very accurate aim.

4. Too late to run, the skunk will whirl around and present it's guns! The scent glads are located on each side of the anus, just under the tail.

Tips & Warnings

• Do not believe the old wives tail about picking up a skunk by it's tail and it can't fire! Not true!!
• A tomato bath is the best known remedy for a skunk spray!
