It was an undignified predicament, even for an animal that defends itself by squirting noxious chemicals from its backside.

A skunk with a plastic McFlurry cup clamped firmly over its headwandered onto Tina Christie's Kemptville, Ont., driveway Thursday morning.

Risking a spraying, Christie coaxed itoverand, on her second attempt, carefully popped the cup off the animal's head, filming the entire rescue.

If the skunkwas grateful, itdidn't say it. Luckily for Christie, itdidn't spray it either: the animal left without further incident.

"I knew I might get sprayed big time and my day would be ruined but I went for it!" Christie wrote in a Facebookpost.
