New Mexicans Can Expect to See More Skunks Across the State

NEW MEXICO (KRQE) – New Mexico’s striped skunk is preparing for cooler weather by coming out earlier in the evening to stock up on food. A senior zookeeper at ABQ BioPark said to keep a close eye on skunks between dawn and dusk, when they are most active. “If you see a skunk, even if it hasn’t started warning you yet, the best thing to do is give it some space,” said Jessica Washburn, senior zookeeper at ABQ BioPark.
