US EditionZoo in Colorado welcomes 14 baby skunks in a double delivery
- In May 2025, two skunk mothers at a Colorado Springs zoo each gave birth to seven kits, totaling 14 newborn skunks.
- The births resulted from a springtime baby boom with mother skunks Isabel and Padfoot delivering litters two weeks apart.
- Isabel’s seven kits have outdoor-themed names while Padfoot’s seven follow a Harry Potter theme, and each kit is marked with color dye for identification.
- Zoo staff carefully track the growth and health of the 14 kits, affectionately describing them as a lively group of little ones staying happily busy.
- The kits will mature and become independent soon as they prepare to visit other accredited zoos, with meet-and-greets planned in June at the zoo.
