Utterly recognizable yet still mysterious, these black and white creatures inhabit woods and neighborhoods all across America. Their infamous weapon is generally considered one of the most awful smells in all of nature. But maybe it’s time for a brand new look at skunks.

We meet owners of domesticated skunks and hear why they think their pets are special. And skunk expert Jerry Dragoo shares his unique experiences foster-parenting amazingly cute skunk babies, who grow up thinking of him as their mother!
