Most people like to take pictures with their pets, but when your pet is a skunk it becomes a whole different story; however, National Geographic photographer Vincent J. Musi did a beautiful job capturing these owners with their pets in this skunk photo series.
What makes this skunk photo series special is that you get to see these animals in a whole different light. Not known for being cute or cuddle, skunks are seen as pests -- but this skunk photo series may change your mind.
Captured in a makeshift studio, Musi photographed skunk owners at a Skunk Fest. The sweet portraits show the skunks and their owners in such a loving way -- you can feel the affection and playful demeanor the furry wild animals feel towards their caregivers.
