Here's a photo of such a <a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/marycummins/5562527250" rel="nofollow">skunk</a>. They are naturally curious and will stick their head in everything from yogurt tubs to peanut butter jars.<br /><br />Mary Cummins<br />Animal Advocates<br />http://www.AnimalAdvocates.us<br />http://AnimalAdvocatesWildlifeRehabilitation.blogspot.com/Mary Cumminshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14646451750521528095noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8527944689184796366.post-87957234278052653442007-05-25T19:55:00.000-07:002007-05-25T19:55:00.000-07:00I'd be happy to help, Mario.

Camera traps will give you a good idea of what's prowling around the zoo at night. Give a call or send me an e-mail.Camera Trap Codgerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11052159376463794204noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8527944689184796366.post-89802253071667973402007-05-25T09:30:00.000-07:002007-05-25T09:30:00.000-07:00The blog is always fascinating Chris.

Would you be interested in helping me set up a similar outfit for Rock Creek (NZP)?<BR/><BR/>MarioCastellanosmhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14893701919686393156noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8527944689184796366.post-34130217084282300692007-05-24T09:40:00.000-07:002007-05-24T09:40:00.000-07:00Thanks Brian -- I was hoping some mustelid enthusi...Thanks Brian -- I was hoping some mustelid enthusiasts would speak up. I've seen similar behavior in African civets and genets. Apparently a number of carnivores bite the neck during fights and threats, and some species have developed thickened skin there, a dermal shield so to speak.Camera Trap Codgerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11052159376463794204noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8527944689184796366.post-42552146566165304802007-05-24T09:16:00.000-07:002007-05-24T09:16:00.000-07:00I would vote for scenario 3 or 4.

At 6 weeks of age, 65% of play-bites were aimed at the neck. By 12 weeks of age 90% of play-bites were nackenbiss. That seems to be a critical period. Neck bites make grip retention stronger, and it is harder to receive a retaliatory bite.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
