There are those pet-lovers for whom a cat is too conventional and a mutt simply too mundane.
But it appears they wouldn’t turn up their nose at a skunk.
For, perhaps surprisingly given the black-and-white mammals’ penchant for causing a pong, they are the latest must-have furry friend.
Following crazes for tea-cup piglets, pygmy hedgehogs and meerkats, it seems that baby skunks, with their soft fur and ability to be house-trained, are proving an ideal family pet.

Breeders estimate that there are around 2,000 kept as domestic pets, and demand is increasing.
Skunks are omnivores with a natural diet including insects, fruits, nuts, mice and other small mammals.
