In Miss Jenkins' Back Yard, Summer 2000

Yes, right here in the city!

You wouldn't believe it unless you saw it for yourself!

So here it is. Look and believe.

A family of baby skunks,

five of them,

tumbling over each other and playing,

chasing bugs,

fighting with pine cones,

they are too cute to be real.

No, they don't smell skunky.....yet.

There ARE five, but one wouldn't hold still for the picture.

Each of these fuzzy little cuties is about

as big as the palm of your hand.

Notice that each skunk is uniquely marked.

Did Miss Jenkins pick up any baby skunks?

No.

She admired them from a distance.
