Three Down

Posted on 22:30 by Unknown
It's skunk mating season. As males travel far and wide in search of receptive females and females try to evade their advances, skunks living in close proximity to humans can fall into trouble.

A case in point - three skunks found themselves entrapped in an empty pool, deep in the forested Santa Cruz mountains. Many thanks to Hollie for calling on WES to help!

Check out the video, below.
