I watched skunks wandering around in the dark this week. I assume they were looking for bugs for breakfast. At the same time I was watching numerous flying insects in the floodlights. Why have skunks not evolved to fly?
Maybe that is what bats are supposed to do. Then were are they? I know we have bats and bat caves in the area. I have occasionally seen them outlined in the dawn light. Here we have a waiting meal and they are not to be found.
If they can’t fill the nitch we need something else that will. I am suggesting flying skunks. I guess armadillos might be able to apply as well.
