I wouldn't go near them. As cute as they look, they are vicious little devils. ABout 5 years ago, A German Shepard tangled with one. The Shepard won, but it was hard to tell the winner! The shepard had some ugly, nasty scars.
Not only that, racoons are a close relative of the skunk and they stink.
I have some beaver that have been getting on my nerves! Anybody want them?
