On Creature Comforts, Kevin Farrell is joined by Dr. Troy Majure, veterinarian at the Animal Medical Center in Jackson and Libby Hartfield retired director of the Mississippi Museum of Natural Science.

The people of Mississippi are all too familiar with our subject for today’s show. Whether you experience them in passing while driving down the road, or your pet waltzes into your house with a certain stench on them, you’re aware of the animals we’re discussing today. You guessed it, we’re discussing skunks. Katelin Cross, mammalogist at both the MDWFP and Mississippi Museum of Natural Science, joins us for the hour to talk about our stinky friends.
