Dive Out Of The Way When A Skunk Raises Its Tail And Stamps Its Feet
Although the spray delivered by a skunk does not constitute a life-or-death situation, it is still very unpleasant. You are more likely to experience this around February since this is the mating season in Northern California. Skunks do not have unlimited spray, so they will typically warn you before anything to avoid wastage. When you see it raise its tail and shake it, you need to back away and leave the poor creature alone. Otherwise, it will stamp its feet and raise its butt in your direction. This is the last warning, so you better leave it alone if you don’t like the thought of a stinky doom.

Do Not Step On A Lake Covered In Gray Or White Ice
“You’re on thin ice!” This is a popular adage that you must have said or heard at least once in your life before. However, it is actually a dangerous situation to be in. It is not advisable to skate or even just walk on a frozen lake. If you really want to, at least ensure that it is safe before you go do it. There are professional who can check the safety of the ice, but we doubt anyone has done an inspection of all the lakes in the world. It might be a good idea to bring equipment to check the ice thickness, though you can also do it by checking the color. If it is blue and clear, it is generally safer than if it were gray or white.
