This is 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.

Great shot of this unusual looking skunk - a skunk that is actually kind of cute! Thanks for sharing this one with us, Nate!

Very sweet shot- nice low view, and presumably at a good distance!
