The Shy Skunk and Her Bushy Tail

A bushy-tailed skunk tiptoes over smooth rocks, her round nose stretched forward as if she’s chasing a tiny adventure. Her striped tail rises high, swirling like a soft black feather duster, while bright eyes peek out from under a fringe of fur. Behind her, leafy plants and tufts of grass poke up, crowding close as though they want to watch her careful climb.

Pebbles dot the ground under her paws, and wide leaves arch overhead. You can almost feel the texture of her thick fur as she balances. Every stripe and curve begs for splashes of bold color, letting you bring this quiet forest moment to life.

Fun Fact!

The scientific family name for skunks, Mephitidae, comes from a Latin word meaning "bad odor."
