Meet the New Baby Skunks at Cheyenne Mountain Zoo This Month
More than a dozen skunk babies have been born in the past two weeks at a Colorado zoo, and they are adorable.
The Cheyenne Mountain Zoo reports that skunks Isabel and Padfoot are each raising a litter of seven baby skunks that were born exactly two weeks apart. This means that there are a total of 14 little bundles of aromatic joy.
