A skunk was filmed performing a bizarre “dance” on night cameras set up by the National Park Service in Arizona.<br /><br />The animal, which on camera appeared to look like a mask with feathers, stood up in a moving handstand at Saguaro National Park.<br /><br />Skunks exhibit this behaviour to scare off predators, the National Park Service said.<br /><br />“The spotted skunk is usually polite enough to give a warning before breaking into dance. They stamp their front feet, raise their tail, and hiss,” the agency said.<br /><br />“If they’re particularly annoyed, that’s when they stand upright on their forelimbs and perform the unusual hand-stand dance.”
