We love watching baby animals practice the skills they’ll need as adults. Skills like play fighting, stalking, and learning to look intimidating are all part of growing up, and it’s always adorable to watch.
In August 2025, Cincinnati Zoo welcomed a baby skunk named Marshmallow to its family. Over the past month, they’ve shared videos of him that have charmed us all. In the latest clip, Marshmallow is practicing his “big tough” skunk scoots, and people can’t get enough. Make sure your sound is on so you can hear his tiny squeaks and squeals, they’re the cutest part!
