I grew up in Northeast America smelling skunks every gd night. I moved to FL and my kids were amazed to see a skunk at the zoo. They thought it was amazing when I explained how I had to wash my dog numerous times due to chasing skunks. Where I lived, they even had something called “skunk cabbage” (not sure on the actual plant name). If you stepped on it, and broke it apart, it smelled just like a skunk.
