Canadian wildlife officials are looking for a brave driver prepared for a 2,200 mile(3,500-kilometre) trip to take a stinky stowaway skunk back to her home in California.

But the skunk, who survived a seven-day journey across the United States and into Canada without food and water, after being accidentally locked away in a transport truck, is having a hard time finding someone to give her a ride home.

"We can never give a no-spray guarantee, of course," said Nathalie Karvonen, executive director at the Toronto Wildlife Center, which has been caring for the skunk since January 5, referring to the black-and-white striped animal's foul-smelling defense mechanism.

"It would have be somebody who would be prepared for that possibility."

Releasing her into the wild in Canada is out of the question, Karvonen said.

Pair volunteers for skunk road trip
01/17/07 04:32 PM, EST

TORONTO,Ontario (Reuters) -- A stowaway skunk that ended up in Canada after traveling more than 2,200 miles shut in the back of a transport truck from California has found a ride home.

"We do have a confirmed ride now back to California," said Nathalie Karvonen, executive director at the Toronto Wildlife Center, which has been caring for the skunk since January 5.

"There is a host of a radio show in California and (the) producer who are actually taking time off work," Karvonen said.

She has given warning about the potentially stinky stowaway . "We can never give a no-spray guarantee, of course."

The brave pair -- whose names weren't immediately known on Wednesday -- will rendezvous with center officials just across the U.S. border in either Buffalo or Detroit, where the handover of the female skunk will take place, Karvonen said.

"We don't know when yet," she said. "We're still trying to get the paperwork worked out with the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service."

Karvonen estimates it will be between a week and 10 days before the skunk, which has not been named, can head home.

tamra,
No ploblem, but why doesn't Canada want the stinky little critter loose up there? I thought half the country was French anyway. ;p
the little guy was probably getting a jump on global warming, theres armadillos in Kansas now but nobodys bitching aboot that.

my cuz had a pet skunk and as long as you didn't piss it off (puns suck) everything was cool, I did get hosed by one once but it was because I was impatient with my buddy Rick walking so slow while we was sneaking into a pond to fish one night, I said something about him being afraid of stepping on something and then ate my words a few steps later, great excuse for not going to work though.

sorry for the French Canadian crack Jimmy, James is my toxic twin from Canada, we were conjoined at the thumbs and forefingers and he probably reads this stuff.

[hellifiknow]

tamra,
that brave pair who volunteered is you and me, camera operator...check your contract.

I was in the middle of posting the other and had to run get kids so didn't see you had posted again.

[tamra]

hellifiknow,

I knew I should have read the contract's fine print! ain't that some shit?!

but I'm riding in a separate car. and besides you have previous skunk experience. no need in both of us in same car. or skunk could arrive to Cali w/a foot in its ass. ;-p

ironically closest I've been to a skunk is walking to Target in Edgewater NJ of all places. the skunk wasn't even walking towards the water, but toward traffic to thick bushes. I started walking slower than a mofo and so did the skunk. finally, it hustled into bushes, and I hustled into Target.

thinking I was smart, I decided to go back way to home, along water. and what do you know, I'm guessing same skunk. we both looked @ each other like "damn, this bitch is stalking me", and did the same slow movement thing until it decided to run off. too far to spray me I guess, because I knew that was coming if I walked closer.

[hellifiknow]

tamra,
...Pepe had you down for his target and was dialing in the coordinates....but why do you want to be mean and put your stinky ol foot up that poor skunks ass, don't you think he has enough hygiene problems the way it is? "there I was, lost in Canada minding my own business and some crazy woman came along and gave me athletes ass...took a picture while she did it too!" ;p

skunks are really kind of cool but they got real sharp pointy little teeth and they freakin hoit when they bite, not as bad as a racoon though...racoons reach a certain age and develope some serious attitude problems.

Rick and our friend Miriam were out in the yard wrestling with her horse, my dog and cat while I stood on the porch and watched all the fun...I finally realized they wasn't practicing some kind of circus act when I looked down and there was a little skunk trying to climb the steps, but it was very sick and probably had rabies...they was just trying to keep the critters away from it, but did anybody come over and get me, hellll no.

[tamra]

hellifiknow,

LMFAO @ athletes ass I don't even wanna know where the cream is applied.

but OMG lemme call the primo weed man (umm doctor, feeling a little nausea and um pain ;-p), grab some beer & wine, head over to your house w/a video camera for some footage of a lifetime. damn this 9-5 shit!

[hellifiknow]

tamra,
I'm sitting here waiting for my pharmacist to call too, nothing primo but better than nada thing...the only cream I know how to apply is whipped. ;p

well there was that one time, no wait thats shampoo...

I should ask Mojones if he's ever seen my friend Jimmy that I mentioned, he plays a accordian and sings for tips at the seawall/boardwalk and bar parking lots around Houston.
