With Babies

Skunks don’t cause much trouble, their great defense is the only thing that makes them so darn undesirable. I wouldn’t mind them at all if I wasn’t worried we’ll run into each other unexpectedly. I’ve learned to shoo them on, they really don’t care about anything, but if you’re mildly annoying (from a distance), they’ll move along. And moving along is the whole point, for if they pick your stuff for a den, they’ll need to go and that’ll be a guaranteed mess.

You Have to Admire

This Beaver’s perfect execution of instinct. It saw an undammed stream, a tree standing near, and it knew just what to do. And the tree went right where the beaver wanted it.


I would have loved to see it at work.
