<div>(MomPerson adds: around here bats usually carry rabies, not skunks, but they certainly can. The fact that it is out in daylight and going towards other animals certainly isn't a good sign. If they put a trap out they are more likely to catch a raccoon, possum or someone's cat than a skunk, especially a sick skunk. Of course it may have something else, or may have been hit by a car and is out of his mind. Who knows. But I think we will avoid the park for a few days.)</div>
