Skunks are sensitive, intelligent animals, and like all intelligent animals, temperament varies with each individual. In general, though, skunks have playful temperaments.[3] Skunks tend to be highly curious and will open cupboards that are left unlocked. Some owners have noticed skunks smelling something that was spilled on the carpet long ago, and attempting to dig to find out what is buried there. Like ferrets, their curiosity can lead them into danger, especially if they crawl inside reclining chairs or other machinery.
A juvenile skunk once fell into my recycling bin of cans and struggled to get out. It was swimming in the cans and making a hell of a noise. I was watching from the window as it eventually got out. It was super cute and very hilarious, jumping back and forth and standing on its front legs with it’s tail in the air as if someone was trying to attack it. It was nice that it was a juvenile because it was so skittish I guess it had used up all it’s spray so my house didn’t get bombed.
Huh, TIL
