TAMPA, Fla. — If Fourth of July fireworks aren't your thing, how about celebrating with something a little cuddlier?

You know, like adorable 1-year-old skunk sisters Juniper and Ginger, who will be making their big Florida Aquarium debut this holiday weekend.

(Don't worry, they've been de-stinkered. But did you know skunks only spray as a last resort? They'll let you know they're irked long before that happens.)

The young ladies — who arrived from Cheyenne Mountain Zoo when they were just babies — will be part of the aquarium's Animal Ambassador program, meeting and greeting the public and educating young and old.

The aquarium's "Sea to Shining Sea: All-American Weekend," from July 3-5, will include costumed divers, patriotic decorations, face painting, a special food menu, a scavenger hunt, and more.
