Pepé the skunk brings new vibe to North Island Wildlife Recovery Centre

Last summer, a baby skunk named Pepé was anonymously left in a drop box at a wildlife rescue facility located in Errington.
This event followed unknown circumstances as the centre tried contacting the person who left Pepé but received no explanation and the location origin remains unclear.
Pepé is the first skunk the 40-year-old centre has handled, and since skunks are non-native to Vancouver Island, they consulted the Ministry of Environment for guidance.
The centre de-scented Pepé by removing his scent glands to prevent spraying, and they are creating an enclosure to introduce him as an educational animal to visitors at 1240 Leffler Rd.
Because Pepé is too young for release and must be imprinted, the centre will use him for education, potentially enriching public awareness about this unusual arrival.
