A Skunk Carrying a Baby Skunk
A close encounter with a Striped Skunk at Sequoyah National Wildlife Refuge reveals its protective behavior of relocating young for safety.
Skunks are a frequent, if pungent, subject of my photography. I document their foraging and defensive behaviors. I capture their distinctive markings and their role as insectivores. I observe their interactions with other wildlife and their adaptability to various environments. I aim to show their importance in controlling pests. Their presence shapes the local ecosystem.
