Good skunk! Dug up a ground bee nest. Woot! One of my horses got stung on the muzzle the other day. Very glad to have this gone with no effort on my part.

Skunks dig up bees' nests and I assume eat the bees? That takes some toughness.
Yup. Love them. Great horned owls are pretty much their only threat (they have little or no sense of smell). Less than 5 percent of skunk mortality is caused by predators.Quote:

Can you train them to cover up the holes when they're done so you or your horses don't step in one?
Hopefully that gives the #yolo tourists some inspiration, we could use some fodder for both the darwin and the yellowstone tourist threads.Quote:

Did you actually see the skunk? Are you sure it wasn't a honey badger?Quote:

Plus all the pics I find on the internet of females eating males look like the pic I took so I'm going with my original post. Post coitus snack.

It looks like they went all out on that pathetic enclosure.Quote:

Based on this I think it might be a Cross Orb Weaver?

I found a good size hole in my front lawn a couple weeks ago. Went down about 10 inches and was about 8 inches wide. Almost perfectly cylindrical. I had no clue what animal would dig that sort of hole. A friend said skunks will do that to dig up ground bees. Sure as shit there were small pieces of honeycomb in the dirt pile. I hope the skunks stay around because we always have ground bees in our yard.Quote:

That’s awesome. When I was a kid (in my twenties) I worked as a trail guide and whenever we saw a critter, it was almost always from that perspective. I used to tell people I was working on putting out a coffee table book full of glossy ass- angle shots of animals running away and would call it A Practical Guide To Wildlife IdentificationQuote:

Hey, most humans can't figure out roundabouts, good for them.
I saw a pine marten this summer driving over Independence Pass, ran across the road right in front of me. I couldn't believe it, I never thought I'd get to see one. When I came home I was describing it to my six year old, and said they're just big weasels, but they're stronger and meaner. She says what's a weasel look like? I say, it's basically a slinky covered in fur. This is what she came up with:

Cricket and Katydid chorus is out strong tonight. Love it!
Turtles are awesome. On one of my mtb riding routes sometimes I'll take a couple mile detour to pond that has lots to see if any are out.Quote:

Small griz at only 70kg. Maybe just left momma. Stay away from ol' billy goat gruff!
Also got to play peak-a-boo with a large muley doe for about 1/2hr. Pics didn't turn out unfortunately. Not sure why she was hanging so close, couldn't find any other does or young in the area. No bucks in early rut either. With general hunting season on for the last few weeks I'd of thought she would be more skittish.
