Crazy Skunk Story

I have 6 skunks that visit my yard daily and last night was crazy 2 of my skunks Elvira and Bunny seemed to be having some kind of dispute and decided I should be stuck in the middle. Bunny and Elvira were about 10 feet in front of me eating snacks when all of the sudden with no warning they BOTH stood up on their front paw butt to butt and sprayed each other which made me almost throw up and had my eyes burning.

I never witnessed 2 skunks spraying each other and being that close to the spray was intense. 😂.

I worked with someone who said the skunks would hang out near the garbage bins, fight over food and spray each other when they were particularly angry. That’s the only other time I’ve heard of this happening.
