Skunk-squirrel? What is this odd critter seen in Ohio?

A unique, fascinating creature-spotted “rare” animals seen around Northeast Ohio are white or albino variations but recently an even more unusual variant was spotted. The animal, dubbed a “squnk,” has the body of a squirrel but the dark black fur and white-tipped tail of a skunk.



There have been several sightings of the unique creature in Ohio recently and photos have gone viral on social media. Some have speculated that the "squnk" might actually be a hybrid of the two animals.bThat is not the case: it is impossible for squirrels and skunks to mate, as they are too genetically different, according to WTRF.
