A stabate, which is assumed that it is a escaped pet, was saved in a garden below the decking.
The RSPCA said that the mammal, which was described as a “flawless state”, was discovered on Sunday in the garden of a house in Nassisington in Northamptonshire near Peterborough.
The homeowner contacted the charity organization after discovering the animal that a bad smelling spray could inject. The next day was caught in a fox trap.
The RSPCA said that it was a crime under the wildlife and land law of 1981 “,” Skunks release or enable them to flee to the wilderness because they are not a native species in Great Britain “.

It was supervised in the exotic refugee population, an animal rescue and rehabilitation center in the Deeping St. James, Lincolnshire.
Hollie Morrall, an animal rescue officer who set up the trap, said: “We are pretty sure that this smell is a escaped pet, but if it is not the stabbed from a different environment, e.g. a rescue center or a zoo.”
She said it could have been a bit away because Skunks could move up to three miles (5 km) per night.
“Novelry runs”
Last year, the RSPCA dealt with a escaped stabate that had traveled from Market Harborough, Leicestershire, Corby, a journey of over 11 miles (over 11 miles), she said.
“This stabate is in a flawless condition and seems to be in good health, even though they are not microchips and we do not know how they got in this place.”
She appealed to everyone who has information about the wild animal from North America to contact.
Evie Button, Senior Scientific Officer, said that the charity organization “dealt with a number of calls from stray pet stinks that have escaped or were deliberately released”.
She added: “We believe that people may buy exotic animals like Skunks, with little idea how difficult they can be to stay and we are requested when the novelty subsides.”
The potential animal owner recommended how to take care of the animal before getting one.
