You Just Got Skunked

Animals amaze me.  The way they look and the way they act keeps me entertained.  We'll get to the skunk in a minute, but let's look at my top-6 animals first, for no particular reason.  The list fluctuates, but today, here's how it stands.

6. Horses

5. Dogs

4.  Panthers

3.  Monkeys

2. Zonkeys (That's right, a freaking Donkey mixed with a Zebra!!!) 

1.  Honey Badgers

The skunk is getting props today for several reasons; mostly its incredible ability to stink.  Also respectable is its resemblance to the aforementioned honey badger, which is the king of the animal kingdom.  

-What animal other than the SKUNK can drop a bomb that stinks up 2 miles of interstate highway on an otherwise pleasant road journey?  I submit, none, unless they're dead...Dead animals stink pretty bad.  The real question is, do skunks realize the unholy power they possess?  That stench is terrible.  What if a certain skunk was just a jerk and started spraying people and spraying highly populated recreational areas just for laughs???  We have to hope this never happens.  They could take over the world. Their stink is not worth admiration but it is worth respect.  It is highly unique in the animal kingdom, and it is one of the most distinctive things in the animal world.

-However, just to be clear, skunks like every other animal on the planet, are nowhere near as awesome as honey badgers.  The skunk may have a matching majestic white mullet like the honey badger.  And the skunk may have an incredible and unsatisfiable hankering for honey which drives it to invade live bee hives just like honey badgers.  BUT, have you ever seen a skunk do this:

or this:  

No, no you haven't.  Skunks can not match the honey badger's lust for fear and intimidation.  

 -Welp, see ya later!
