Mammals The Skunk 
FOOD 
Meat and fruit and some vegetables, and plenty 
of fresh water should be provided. In fact, most of 
the things which we eat seem to be suitable skunk 
food.

A SMELLFUL KITTY 
Some animals are smelly 
_ And some are made to smell, 
And thus the matter is arranged 
To suit them both quite well. 
IT am a pretty kitty 
_More smellful than them all, 
For I can make a mile of smell 
On provocation small.
