  We investigate the properties of skyrmion in the ferromagnetic state of
spin-1 Bose-Einstein condensates by means of the mean-field theory and show
that the size of skyrmion is fixed to the order of the healing length. It is
shown that the interaction between two skyrmions with oppositely rotating spin
textures is attractive when their separation is large, following a unique
power-law behavior with a power of -7/2.
