Animals on campus: Skunk

At Clint Small, there’s plenty of non-farm animals that we have living here on campus. We have one skunk that has caused problems in the past, and just today has been aggravated, by Royal, Mr. Jeansonne’s pet dog. 

Skunks only spray when threatened, as a last resort. We can assume Royal was messing with its sleeping space, and got sprayed. Although we love our animals, the 

Skunk is considered a pest. If you 

Ever see a skunk, stay away! It 

Gives you warning signs like stamping,

raising their tail, hissing, and twisting 

their body to aim at the threat. Keep in mind that they’re nocturnal, so it’s rare to see them out and about during the day!
