I spent some time working in the US when fresh out of Uni
We used to go out for lunch to a diner on the other side of the airport, which involved driving a rural road around the perimeter.
One summer day we drove that way to discover a fresh skunk roadkill in the middle of the yellow lines. It which was the single most vile thing I've ever smelled. We avoided that road for a couple of weeks to let the crows do their job, but found that even they wouldn't go near. The corpse was untouched, and remained there for at least a month.
My only encounter with a live wild skunk was many years later when one ambled out of the bushes next to me in a car park in Toronto. I ran like fuck.
