Anyway, you were REALLY lucky to see the skunk out on exhibit. They are nocturnal and are always sleeping in their underground burrow (visible through glass below this main exhibit). I have only seen the skunk out like this once, when a keeper put treats while I was there.
Haha no it was actually at the end of 2010. And I didn't leave it just to luck. Knowing my chances of seeing the skunk out were slim, I made sure I spoke to the keeper and found out what time they were going to put food out. After all the 2 skunk species were the reason I came.
It was a nice little trip. I knocked some other species off my list at Wildlife World Zoo the day before, and flew to Omaha to visit that zoo for the 2nd time. Not sure I knew of you back then, but I would've loved company, since I did the whole trip alone.
