Digging bottles and have this visitor ... well behaved. Quite attractive.

Not a skunk. It's a rooter, no stripe down its back. It looks like it's eating good.

Now that was just too cool. We are well blessed with them in this area of Tennessee, but never recall seeing one with that much white. Great vid.

Kewl. Do they turn white there? Grew up in Wyo, never saw white ones. Later Clyde

Agree with tnguns, never seen one that white. Here n NC there the classic color, black w/white stripe. There very good with there aim and shoots like a water hose not a little stream like most people think. Never been doused but brother n law once was

Good you did not scare him or her. And I have seen them with almost no white and just the opposite. Here in Jersey it is not unusual to see them almost all white.

She was quite preggy -- and knew I was there. She looked over a couple times, must have known I presented no threat and returned to eating/rooting for a family to come. Skunks are generally very docile. I did accidently spook her when I moved to get back to digging. She was back again in about five minutes. I swear she liked being near me, possibly due to all the digging I was doing. It must have seemed like I was a fellow rooter to her. When I left, I'm sure she pounced on the spot where I had turned over the soil. By the by, no good bottles -- all newer stuff, circa 1930s.
