Corralitas Drive: Baby Skunks Foraging For Rubber Tree Fruit

Photo: Diane Edwardson, May 24, 2014.  This tiny baby skunk could not have been more than 6 inches long, but its tail was almost twice that.  

The young skunk showed no fear; it came right toward me, despite my camera flash firing, as I was standing near the bonanza of rubber tree fruit left on the ground after tree trimming this week.
