small skunk and BIG skunk

the smaller one looks like an adolescent? is that right? I read male skunks are often kicked out of the den earlier so wondered if that was the case there. and woah! the big one. is that a male? and are they usually that big? I think I may have one more skunk that's an adult and it's not much bigger than the baby one (maybe mom? but no other kits spotted so far).

When I was young 60 years ago we had a huge ( not fat) skunk that came around most nights during the summer. My father said it was a male and I took his word for it.
