Meet the animal lover who trained her pet skunk to do advanced tricks – and has spent £2k on her exotic friend.

Sierra Middleton, 26, bought her skunk, Elfo, from an exotic pet breeder in May 2022.

Her bond with Elfo is "super strong" - and she often lets him roam totally free around her house.

Sierra used her skills as a dog trainer to teach Elfo tricks and says he is “food-motivated” and needs constant “mental stimulation”.
