Have you ever held a skunk?

So when I was at my Brother's house in Washington, some people from his ward came over and they brought their pet. I don't know about you, but when I think pet, I think a dog, a cat, maybe a fish. So when they walked in the house armed with a Silverback Skunk named Cotton, I was a little surprised.

Cotton was surprisingly tame and put up with alot of manhandling by 14 kids plus a few adults. Here are some pictures..
