That stinks

A cautious crowd keeps a safe distance while Steve Barkley, a code-enforcement officer with the city, reaches for a skunk stuck inside one of the bowls midday Tuesday at the Durango Skateboard Park. The skunk emitted an odor during the rescue, but it didn’t spray anyone. The skunk is believed to have entered the pool but found the sides too steep and slick to climb out. Barkley removed the skunk, and released it by the banks of the Animas River, where it made its escape up a storm drainage.
