Baby Skunk

Few people can see a skunk and not instantly become afraid of being coated in their horribly stinky spray. We might be able to put our fears aside if we met a baby skunk in person, however. Baby skunks are also called kits and will only be able to open their eyes following birth after three weeks. Following this three-week wait, skunks will rapidly develop and will be able to fall pregnant after about a year’s time. Still, we must warn against playing with skunks in general, as you could easily get hit by their appalling defense mechanism!

Baby Prairie Dog

Prairie dogs are not particularly popular in America, but that does not take away from their wonderous nature. Firstly, their mating seasons last the full duration of just a single hour, annually. Their tunnel systems are incredibly complex and they communicate through one of the most developed animal language systems known to the animal kingdom which we have yet to decode. You might find their squeaking sounds to be annoyingly monotonous, but they are actually describing in sensational detail what they are sensing to one another. You could be being described by prairie dogs loudly if they spotted you! What an incredible combination of genius and sweetness.
