“Fart Squirrels” Instead of Skunks?
Working at a park seems to require a good sense of humor, as evidenced by this park sign. It cautions visitors against petting the “fart squirrels,” complete with an image of a skunk. It’s an amusingly apt description when you think about it. Surprisingly, it seems that skunks might approach people close enough to be petted, contrary to what you might expect of wild animals, which are typically wary of humans.
This unusual behavior could explain the need for such a humorous sign, suggesting that it’s addressing a frequent issue in a lighthearted way.
