Skunks are slow moving solitary creatures and spend much of the day time hours underground. They dig their own dens but will also take over abandoned ones left by other animals if it suits their needs. They carry an air of self confidence and can teach us how to develope self esteem and self respect. They do not seek out trouble, but neither will they run from it. Instead they choose to stand their ground.
Throughout history they have been both respected and feared. When a skunk feels threatened it raises it's tail and stomps it's front feet. If that does not deter the intruder it will then make a low hissing sound and turn around presenting it's tail and then spray.
A skunk can spray 10 - 15 feet with a noxious liquid that will irritate the eyes and blur vision temporarily. The odor is very distinct and so is the skunks marksmanship as the target is often hit square in the face and chest.
Skunk wisdom includes:
Understanding how to "walk your talk", sensuality, self respect and courage, and a calmness that comes from self confidence which is not pride or arrogance.
