Welcome Our New Arrivals: Baby Chocolate Skunk Brothers Drax and Quill 🦨

We are beyond excited to introduce the latest additions to Noah's Ark: two baby chocolate skunk brothers! These unique and adorable skunks, with their striking dark brown fur and playful personalities, are certainly the new cheeky chappies of the zoo. 

A Rare Sight

Chocolate skunks are a rare color variation of the common striped skunk, making these brothers a particularly special addition to our zoo. Their rich brown fur is a striking departure from the typical black and white markings of their species, and their vibrant personalities match their distinctive appearance.

Getting to Know Them

Our new skunk brothers are just a few months old and full of energy. They love exploring their new habitat, playing with enrichment toys, and interacting with each other. We've already seen them develop a close bond, often seen cuddling each other and sticking together when exploring a new place.

Fun Facts About Skunks

1. Skunks are known for their powerful defence mechanism. They spray a pungent liquid to deter predators, but despite their reputation, skunks are actually very clean animals. They groom themselves frequently, just like cats! 
2. Skunks are omnivores, meaning they eat both plants and animals. Our baby skunks enjoy a varied diet that includes fruits, vegetables, insects, and small mammals.
3. Striped skunks are found in a range of habitats in North America including wooded areas, scrublands, forests and grassy plains. They can also be found in suburban and urban areas; because of this, people often see as skunks as pests.
