Newcomer
The steers keep their eye on the newcomer. A resident ranch cat goes over to check it out, but doesn't stay long. The skunk pretty much ignored the cat and didn't spray.

Striped Skunk
The Striped Skunk is found across most of North America.
|
Black and White
A narrow white stipe extends up the snout to above the eyes. Two white stipes begin at the nape of the neck, and run back on either side of the midline on the back and meet again at the base of the tail.

Business End
Fully armed, the Striped Skunk can spray their special stink almost 20 feet.

Just watching

Who's that?
The skunk ignored the cat.

Caught in mid-run, this skunk looks about ready to dive into a snowbank.

Not too close
Up on the 4th rail seems a good distance to watch from.
