Photo taken in July, 2013 @ ZOOM Erlebniswelt Gelsenkirchen, Germany

The zoo had a couple of baby Striped Skunks, but the whole family had burrowed underground and refused to come out. They'd been working on getting them outside for about four hours, and eventually, it worked.
No babies, though, except for one, for a small fraction of a moment. This is a grown-up. Just goes to prove, that when the tail is down and he doesn't feel attacked, they're really cute .

Species: Striped Skunk (Gestreept stinkdier)
Latin name: Mephitis Mephitis
Originates from North America.
Current status: Least Concern
