The Cheyenne Mountain Zoo in Colorado is celebrating a baby boom of the striped and potentially smelly variety.

The zoo recently announced the birth of 14 skunk kits from two different mothers, creating an adorable — if potentially pungent — nursery.

Isabel gave birth to seven kits on May 5, while fellow skunk Padfoot delivered her own litter of seven kits just two weeks later.
