I'm not being facetious here.

This is totally serious.

I've met several prospective new Canadians in recent months who didn't know a thing about skunks.

Seriously, Immigration and Citizenship Canada needs to warn new Canadians not only about the excessive cuteness of skunks, but also of the dangers of approaching them.

Admire their cuddliness from afar new Canadians!

If you get too close, they'll spray you with their indiscriminate stink shooter and you'll be stuck smelling terrible for the upcoming weeks to come.

Watch out for skunks.

Even if they're adorable!
