[Summit] Coyotes and the White Skunk

[Anne]

Sounds like the same skunk, all right. "Amble" is definitely the way  
"our skunk" walks, like he owns the 'hood.  :-)

We have also seen him/her/it in the company of two other skunks. They  
have ambled in a line across our street as we've sat on our front  
porch in the twilight. I don't see them in the winter, though. Do  
skunks hibernate? We only see them in warm months. Maybe it's just  
that we aren't out late at night in the winter.

"Our skunk" also likes to spray a lot in the summer. Boy, that odor  
can flood the house perfume pretty fast.
