TORONTO,Ontario (Reuters) — A stowaway skunk that ended up in Canada after traveling more than 2,200 miles shut in the back of a transport truck from California has found a ride home.
“We do have a confirmed ride now back to California,” said Nathalie Karvonen, executive director at the Toronto Wildlife Center, which has been caring for the skunk since January 5.
“There is a host of a radio show in California and (the) producer who are actually taking time off work,” Karvonen said.
She has given warning about the potentially stinky stowaway . “We can never give a no-spray guarantee, of course.”
The brave pair — whose names weren’t immediately known on Wednesday — will rendezvous with center officials just across the U.S. border in either Buffalo or Detroit, where the handover of the female skunk will take place, Karvonen said.
“We don’t know when yet,” she said. “We’re still trying to get the paperwork worked out with the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service.”
Karvonen estimates it will be between a week and 10 days before the skunk, which has not been named, can head home.
