Have you ever encountered a skunk in the wild or your backyard? In this video, we'll take a closer look at these fascinating creatures and uncover some surprising facts about them.

Skunks are nocturnal animals and are most active at night, which is why they are rarely seen during the day. They have excellent hearing and sense of smell, which helps them to locate food and avoid predators. Skunks are omnivores and their diet includes insects, small mammals, fruits, and vegetables.While skunks are known for their distinctive odour, they actually don't like to spray unless they feel threatened. Before spraying, skunks will often give a warning by stamping their feet, hissing, or arching their backs. If you encounter a skunk, it's best to stay still and avoid startling them. Did you know that skunks can live up to 10 years in the wild? They are also social animals and live in groups called surpluses. During the breeding season, males will compete for a female's attention by performing a "dance" and making various vocalisations. Skunks black and white colouring serves as a warning to predators that they are armed with a potent defence mechanism. And if you're wondering if skunks make good pets, the answer is no.
