Every autumn, mother skunks drive their four-month-old babies away to find territory of their own.
It’s nature’s way — but for us, it’s terrifying.

I move slowly because I don’t understand how fast your cars are.
When danger comes, I spray instead of running — that’s how my kind survives predators, not highways.

October and November are when the most young skunks die on roads.
We cross at night, confused and homeless for the first time.

If you see a small, slow shape under your headlights — please brake.
I’m not trying to spray you. I’m just trying to survive my first night alone. 🦨💔
