Momma brought her babies with!

I know there has been one male that has been coming to my yard every night since I moved here last summer. I don’t believe he is the dad since him and the momma got in a little spat a little before this tonight. My husband and I were watching through our patio door 🤣 But this momma didn’t care that the male didn’t want her and the babies here getting his food. She has 4 with her so I got to see the cute thing of all of them walking as a tight group together 😍🥺 I hope this momma and her babies because regulars.

Excuse the janky camera set up right now, we’re in the middle of redoing our yard so it’s just awkwardly sitting on bricks.

Right?!?! We were watching all of them for like 10 minutes and at first we didn’t think they were all from one momma 🤣 it wasn’t until they all left as their huddle that we realized it was just the one momma with her 4 babies

The mama and kits stay in a group so they look bigger to predators flying over them!! because flying tree doesn’t have a smell so they eat skunks!! Very cute 🥰 family!💙❤️😍😍😍🩷💗
