I've seen skunk damage around the ponds in the gardens, lots of digging,
dirt moving, but I've never known them to bother ponds per se. Course they
don't like motion sprinklers either, I've humorously witnessed that. I was
just curious if you or someone had witnessed a skunk doing damage, or if
they were just guilty by association? ~ jan

============================
Skunks here don't bother ponds. We've had them around for years. The dogs
wont go near them.
