Meet Marigold

Marigold is a 6-year-old female Striped Skunk, who cannot be released into the wild. She "belongs" to the Alberta Institute for Wildlife Conservation" and is one of their animal Ambassadors. I met her yesterday evening and attempted to get a few photos of her. I'd never taken photos of Skunk before. She was the wriggliest little creature imaginable, so my photos are far from the greatest, but at least I can add Striped Skunk to my Wild Animals of Alberta Set : )
