Cheyenne Mountain Zoo Celebrates Double Skunk Delivery: 14 Kits Born

There’s a baby boom happening at the Cheyenne Mountain Zoo in Colorado, and it comes with a little extra stink. The zoo recently welcomed 14 striped skunk kits, born in two separate litters just weeks apart — a delightful (and potentially odorous) milestone for the zoo’s animal care team.

The proud skunk moms, Isabel and Padfoot, each gave birth to seven kits — Isabel’s arrived on May 5, while Padfoot’s litter followed about two weeks later. According to zoo officials, both mothers and all 14 babies are doing well and thriving in their nursery space.

Isabel’s kits are already beginning to develop teeth and have started playing and socializing with each other, a promising sign of healthy growth. The zoo’s animal care staff continues to closely monitor both families, ensuring they’re comfortable and progressing normally.

While baby skunks are undeniably cute with their tiny paws and signature stripes, they also come with a warning: their distinctive scent glands develop early — so the zoo staff is handling them with care! Visitors may be able to catch a glimpse of the kits once they’re old enough for short public appearances, though for now, they remain behind the scenes.

This exciting double delivery not only brings smiles to visitors and staff alike but also helps with educational and conservation efforts surrounding native species. Cheyenne Mountain Zoo often uses its resident animals to educate the public about North American wildlife and the important role skunks play in local ecosystems.
