Baby Skunk Does The Cutest Stomps | The Dodo Little But Fierce 

Aw how cute it's like a cat that constantly points a loaded gun at you.

"Listen here, lady...Iv'e got a butt...and i'm not afraid to use it!"

“Go forth and stinkify, little buddy”

I've raised many skunks..they tame almost instantly and never spray at people once they are tame..They swing there butt around because of instinct and not aggression or wanting to spray.Even wild ones only spray as a last resort.They are fun to have around and always getting into trouble.

Fact: Skunks have a limited defensive liquid storage so they will often act like they will spray you but will only use the liquid if you really push your boundaries. Their bad sight doesn't help with that either

* stomps, stomps * "Look at my butt" * stomps, stomps * "LOOK AT IT"

I was outside of my place smoking a cigarette and seen a mom skunk walking across my yard with 3 baby skunks behind her, was the cutest thing I've seen 🤣

My dad brought home 3 little baby skunks when I was a kid. We kept them in a cage outside at night and let them wander around the yard during the day like chickens. Fed them catfood and bugs. They really loved our black/white dog and followed him everywhere. He was petrified of them because he had already been sprayed by skunks multiple times so it was fun watching him try and avoid them. They all wandered off eventually and we would smell them once in awhile in the fall when it was cold at night. They would stomp and hiss and do all the skunk things.

Did I wake up today thinking I'd find out what a skunk's butt looks like? No, I didn't. But here we are... And with extreme detail.

*Skunk:* Stomp. *Me:* You are doing amazing, sweetie.

I had a pet skunk when i was growing up , was the best pet ever .

They have balance issues when young because their claws actually function as toes on their front feet. That age the claws aint grown long enough to provide the support and balance.

I raised a baby skunk when I was a teenager. I named him Stinky. He never sprayed anyone. He loved cat food. I turned him loose one summer and he stayed close to our home.

Their practice stomps are soooo cute. He's like "This is my butt. There are many like it but this one is mine"

My brother knew someone with pet skunks. It was adorable they were all laying on him he said they are just like cats they even use the litter box. For people who can have pet skunks I'm happy for them they have such a cool bond! I also didn't know it but they come in a full array of colors and various patterns it's cool to see ^^

We had a family of skunks. First came Skunkette, then her mate Skunked, followed by the 3 skunkaroos. We could walk right up to them and they wouldn't stomp or spray.. the babies were so cute. I live right next to a wilderness area, so we get lots of wildlife. I think the skunks are my favorites.

I had a little skunk come out of the bushes and curl up in my lap while I was changing brakes in the yard. Freaked me out since I was working by drop light and heard the rustling of the leaves etc but didn't think nothing of it till I felt it crawl onto my lap lol. Stayed with me for an hour or so, then went back off into the wild. I will never forget that experience, its already been 20+ years ago lol

Such a cute little stinker💝

Adorable. Thanks for loving him

I had a friend who kept a skunk in their house. It acted like one of their pet dogs, by running to the door when the dog did going outside to potty, and you knew he was coming to you when you heard his little toe nails tapping on the floor running to greet you.. he ate dog food and veggies. They said they had his ordor glands removed when he was some weeks old. I was never afraid of him, like i said he was just like the indoor pets...very sweet...

I was sitting in a park one day and 3 little skunks came to investigate me- then they play wrestled next to me for like a half hour. It was so cool

Baby Skunk does the cutest stomps..... I've been tricked to look at a skunk's butthole for like 3 mins! 😂😂😂 touché Dodo

2:10 HE DOES BUNNY KICKS 😍

I love skunks! We have an array that's lived near my family's home for at least 30 years. Every year the parents bring their new babies to show em off (and show em a good spot to get a meal).

Skunk are so cute,when they aren't trying to fart on you cause you spooked it

I had a pet skunk when I was a kid. We got her from a neighbor that didn't want her anymore and they knew my mother was an animal lover. She had already been descented. Her name was Flower. She would sleep with me and when she got down off the bed and wanted back up she would pull the covers off onto the floor to wake me up. Lol Skunks are actually pretty smart.

We had one back in the 70s. Bought him through a pet shop, they came from a skunk farm in Minnesota. He was so kewl. Teeth like razors. God help around chicken or cheese. We fed him dog food I think, cause cat food had too much protein. The hand stomps are his warning signs to others, leave me alone or you'll pay. The back stomps are kind of priming the pump. The feet have to on the ground so they can use the muscles to do the spraying. They are very clean, have very little non-offensive body or fur odor and take perfectly to a litter box. He loved riding on my shoulder when I was driving. THAT got some looks. A meter reader came in one day, and almost freaked when he found the little guy guarding the meter he was trying to read. His bed was in that utility room. Later, he would get under one side of a vanity table and then work the bottom drawer open a bit, then climb up to nest in the drawer. Superb pets. His sprayer was clipped and cauterized before we got him. He had to have shots. Sadly pneumonia claimed him.

Aww! Thats a stompin stinker right there! 🥰

I could never do this. I get too attached to animals. Id never be able to do the right thing and release them. This lady is a hero.

If you're reading this you have potential to create great things. Yes. You.

My wife and I had a pet skunk when we were first married: he was a lot of fun and a great pet. The musk glands are removed at about 3-4 weeks and you have to get them by the time they are about 4-5 weeks old: you bottle feed them for the first 2-3 weeks, keep them with you constantly and let them imprint on you. They use a litter box like a cat or can be trained to go outside. Ours was brown and white, ate Eukanuba dog food and some select scraps that we provided. He'd climb up in my lap to nap and get his back and ears scratched, would play with our cat, and was the most inquistive animal you can imagine. Yes, when they get unhappy with you or are playfully aggressive the will stomp those front feet and point their rear at you. Meeting people at the door with him on my shoulder was a lot of fun - people didn't know what to do when confronted by a skunk. We had to give him up when I joined the Marine Corps. In recent years I started looking into getting another one but the legeslature in my state for some reason decided to outlaw ownership of skunks - stupid. They make GREAT pets.

He's like a little ferret playing around in the cage with his butt sticking up all the time aww

I think skunks have evolved with that defense mechanism to keep away all the animals and people that would cuddle them to death in nature due to their incredibly cute appearance.

ok but how did i nOT KNOW SKUNKS COULD BE THIS ADORABLE WTF-

You are an awesome human being! Thank you for rehabilitating these little gorgeous skunks and then releasing them back into their natural habitat, you are wonderful.💘💞💘

He is too cute for any amount of words ❤

i didnt know thats how skunks sprayed.i thought they just did it while running away. looking you in the eye like that while spraying is kinda funny and badass.

1:43 did anyone else see 2 skunks?

Brave woman rescuing and raising skunks!

I love their stomping. Cutest thing ever.

Just wait 'till he starts speaking in a French accent,and starts accosting the cat..

Did you all see how gorgeous and fluffy his tail was at the end? She did such a great job!❤

Thanks for helping little skunker.

Such a cutie patootie!💗

I was biking home one night in the rain, and found some stopped cars, along with a pack of baby skunks aimlessly milling around in the middle of the road. I got to play crossing guard and prevent oncoming traffic from hitting them. I then directed them to where I hoped their mother was (one side of the road had good hiding spots, the other didn't.) I used a wet T-shirt as a capture net to get 3 of them across that didn't seem to know where to go. I went home slightly stinky. It was a very cute experience though. They were adorable, and shockingly happy to crawl over my feet.

One of the most feared non-violent creatures to send people darting in the other direction, and also one of the most beautifully coloured and shiny coats among animals. ❤️

I’m in a big city so theres a lot of people but it’s surrounded by canyons. The animals have gotten really comfortable with people because of that. There’s tons of skunks out at night but they just ignore you as we walk past each other. I’ve come to really like seeing them around once I finally learned to trust they won’t spray me, they have the cutest faces.

Ive watched this one 100 times! He cracks me up! “Here’s my feet…and here’s my butt!”

We had a skunk when I was a kid. He used to stamp at you two times as a warning, on the third stamp he would swing his backside around and would try to spray you, but would poop everywhere instead. Needless to say we tried not to piss him off too often. 😂

It’s so weird how he instantly know what he has to do .He’s like don’t mess with me .So funny.😆

0:03 well I’m dead from cuteness ❤

This lady who rescued is an angel.❤️❤️❤️

My aunt and uncle had a de-skunked skunk. He was protective of them and the house. He'd do that stomping with his butt turned at you. It was really cute.

oooo Tough guy! It must be so frustrating for him to act fierce and receive "awws" and giggles in response. Love him!

I’ve noticed other baby skunks behave same. This so cool. Sassy creatures!

Thanks for helping our wonderfull little critters.

I helped rescue a baby skunk this year and at that age their ability to "spray" is more like a fart. They can't quite do the damage they can later in life. I miss that little skunk

He's so cute! I never knew they stomped.

Christine, thank you for taking care of Skunker. You’re amazing.

Very brave to foster skunks, hats off to you.

Cute lil Fart Kitten! I've got a momma that everytime she has kits, she shows up at my place because she knows her and the babies are safe! They're hilarious watching the play and wrestle around! One of the things I like most about being in the country is all the babies! Possums, skunks, raccoons, bunnies, I've had them all out here!

Was I the only one bobbing and weaving every time it's rear end faced the camera.

That has got to be one of the cutest things I have ever, EVER seen !! 😂💞 Adorable and yes, he does give me a *crazy vibe lol Makes him even more special ❤️🦨

What a lovely story, I am so happy that you saved him. The world needs more animal lovers like you....and me! God bless you compassionate lady. 😊❤

Skunkies are awesome! I had one as a pet, he was a yr and a half when I got him from an auction. He was never socialized before that so I wasn't able to bond with him like I had hoped. I eventually gave him to someone who had more knowledge then me and now he has 11 other skunkies to play with.

This lil baby is so damn cute it makes ya want to go out and buy one!

Good job. The world needs more good moms like you 😀

When I was a kid we rescued a baby skunk, starving and in bad shape. We had him fixed so he couldn't spray. When he got mad he hissed, stomped and then turned to spray us. We leashed trained him. He played with the dogs.

It's amazing how much is instinctual! He didn't have other skunks to learn from yet he knew how to do all that

Those stomps are actually how they warn predators to get back. And if that doesn't work, skunks will raise their tails in the air, and spray. Even at 10 feet in the distance, skunks can spray with perfect aim.

He is a cutie pie ,thank you for helping him

The "aft defense nozzle" is already well developed even before he could walk properly 😍

Cute little guy. One night, a hundred years ago, I was halfway drunk walking home in the dark and I saw this poor little kitten all alone. I called it but it didn't come to me so I followed it and tried to pick it up. It ran away and I just continued on my way. Keep in mind that I'm probably 15 years old. I walked into my house, hoping my parents didn't want to talk to me, since I smelled like beer. My Mom screams, what the hell is that smell? That kitty was a skunk and sprayed me and I didn't even know it. I couldn't smell it. It over-powered the smell of beer though. Had to throw away all my clothes and my favorite hiking boots.

Had a friend who raised skunks. They're actually related to ferrets which also have stink glands. They had them removed and they were the best pets and so intelligent and curious.

Ohhh the cuteness 💙 what a precious doll baby. That little stomping is so sweet. Would be really hard to let him go

It's like when cats does the side wards crab death move. Terrifying. He's gorgeous. Love from the UK

He is exactly like a rescue I had years ago, I named Baby Stink. His mother was killed, and he was still nursing. He was such a joy, and of course would always "display" his bum, and stomp, and talk.

I can't deal with his little tush ❤😭

"He's crazy" sums it up lmao, love this, very informative

His instinct kicked in..he’s crazy 😂.

If you ever have the occasion to see a fully grown skunk ( in the wild ) doing that “ stomp “ in your general vicinity. RUN 😂 LOL

Skunker is adorable

My cousin had an albino skunk that lived under his porch. He would leave food out for her. One day a car hit her and broke one of her legs. He was so distraught, he took her to a vet who said the break was too bad. She wouldn't survive in the wild and the best thing would be to put her down. He said nope, I'll make a pet out of her. And he did. She got so that she loved him and would sit on his shoulders and stuff. She hated everyone else and would hiss at us like a cat. He took good care of her and she lived several years in his house. She was beautiful.

"We have something back there that's our weapon" 😂

You have to be real gangsta to raise a skunk LOL LOL. Everytime he turned his butt to the camera I ducked

Hey, he gives new meaning to back that thang up LOL

The Skunk Stomp --a new dance craze!

Awwwwwww!! His little stomp and his sass! For one so little he had/has, a lot of first in him!! Haha! Cutey!!

Smol skunk: “Fear me”. Hooman: “No you’re cute.” Smol skunk: “.....”

Those cute little squawks ❤

This woman is exceptionally brave! I would have been throwing my hands up in the air every time the little guy turned his butt in my direction!! 😂 lolol

He's a feisty little fellow. lol I think he will do just fine in the wild.

Aaaaawwwwwwwwwww!!!!! He’s all like “I’m gonna spray ya mom! I’m gonna spray ya! Not really hehe!”

This is why I watch video's instead... because I couldn't release him back out i'd miss him too much lol

Never knew skunks had such great personalities.

I just giggled...aalll the way thru this! He thinks he’s Mr. Big Stink😂😂

Does stomp...presents his weaponry...everyone liked that.

He's beautiful. In the 80s we found a baby brother & sister alone in the middle of the dirt road by our house. We raised them till they were old enough to be on their own. So cute. Very clean. Used litter. Lots of romping & stomping. Butts aimed to spray, but they were well behaved. Pepe & Fifi. They used to come back to visit us from time to time. They'd eat food with the barn cats.

Thank you for loving these little gifts 🤩🤩🤩💖💖

It’s amazing how incredible humans are with animals. Some people are born to help them get back on their feet.
