Hog-nosed Skunk

This is actually the Patagonian Hog-nosed Skunk which I photographed a few years ago on the Valdes Peninsula in Argentina. He was moving quickly the whole time and with poor cloudy lighting I had a hard time getting a fast enough shutter speed to stop him, this was probably the best shot I managed. Full frame.

Excellent image for the conditions; one of which was that he was apparently moving quickly toward you.

Cool image. Foot under the chin makes it appealing.

Thumbs way up for the super low, ground level point of view!

Superb capture, does it smell as bad?
