That's a funny skunk story. I have seen wild skunks act real casual around people before.
Heh - here's another that happened the other night - when I got home a skunk was standing by our living room window, again, eating the cat food (we have since started to bring the food in at night to discourage skunks) and I'm walking to the porch to go in and I jingled my keys at him or her and he just looked at me and resumed eating. I guess they've liked the free all you can eat buffet.

and I have video of it...but it's on 8mm. One day I'll convert it.
I just watched some footage my good buddy shot in Yellowstone this Spring of an encounter between two grizzlies and two wolves. The two wolves were eating a kill and the two grizzlies looked like they wanted to mosey in and take it from them. However, once they got too close, the wolves charged them and the two griz took off running like hell was on their heels. The wolves actually seemed surprised for a second but then were like, ok, if you are going to run, we'll chase you. I guess nobody pulled those grizzlies aside just yet and explained to them that they are in fact giant bears who could easily take a wolf out.
It was really cool watching the griz stand on their hind legs as they were initially approaching the wolves.

I got bit in the ass by a german shepard that had a bad case of gum disease, no teeth, it was blind in two of it's eyes, it was missing a leg, and it was a on a 3 foot chain.
I did have a raccoon encounter but only to feed them old dinner rolls on my step. They told me about you and how they laughed.
And did said German Shepard answer to the name of "Lucky?"
And I have had a wildlife encounter more terrifying than anything you can name....I had my teenage daughter's after prom party at my house.
Top that.
