In a skewed distribution, the mean tends to get pulled in the direction of the skew. Since the mean involves every value in the distribution, extreme values (values far from the others) have a big influence. This results in skewness where the mean is drawn towards the tail, and is a common occurrence in distributions that are not symmetric.
