We have exciting baby news!
Two of our skunks recently had kits! Isabel and Padfoot are each raising a litter of seven baby skunks. That’s fourteen tiny bundles of cuteness keeping their paws full. The two litters arrived exactly two weeks apart. The babies are often busy nursing, sleeping and curiously nuzzling one another. Isabel, Padfoot, and all the little ones appear to be doing well. It won’t be long before these kits are full of energy and exploring their home in The Loft. Until then, the best time to see them is during our skunk training demonstrations in The Loft. The demonstrations take place on Monday, Wednesday, Thursday, Saturday and Sunday at 2:30 p.m.
These skunks will head to other AZA zoos when they’re mature and independent in the coming months. At their new homes, they’ll represent their wild counterparts and help even more people learn to love and appreciate skunks.
