Skunk does handstand, 'dances' for camera

This little skunk's dance moves may be cute but he's definitely got his game face on. 

Some footage captured over the summer at Saguaro National Park in Arizona shows a spotted skunk doing a handstand and appearing to dance around in front of a wildlife camera. But according to the Huffington Post, he wasn't trying to show off...he was trying to be intimidating. 

In the caption for the video posted to Instagram by the U.S. Department of the Interior, spotted skunks "are capable of spraying a strong unpleasant scent as a form of defense. But before spraying, spotted skunks will sometimes go into a handstand and attempt to intimidate any would be aggressors like this skunk is doing with the wildlife camera."

Since no one was actually manning the wildlife camera, the skunk may have mistaken it for an enemy and was getting prepared for battle.
