Rare footage of a western spotted skunk doing handstands in front of my trail camera. Spotted skunks are the only skunk species that will do handstands when threatened, as a way to appear larger and signal to potential predators that they are about to be sprayed. This is VERY rare to see on camera, especially in the wild. I have been trying to capture this on film for over two years now.
If you enjoy this video and others like it, please check me out on Instagram: coyotecams I frequently post bite-sized clips of the best wildlife footage I capture on camera. For those of you who have been subscribed for a while, I'll continue to post some of the better stuff on here. I am also (slowly) putting together clips for another trailer, and may do a couple of long form videos just for fun. Summer time in the desert is pretty brutal so we will see. Thanks for watching.
