Skunks problems
Skunks are not particularly dangerous animals. In fact, they are omnivores and generalists, which is why they feed on plants and insects. But like all mammals, they have a defense strategy if a larger animal wants them as prey: their anal gland. With it, he sprays predators with an unpleasant odor.
But they can’t tell if you are a predator or just someone who walks. Therefore, if you see a skunk nearby, you should be aware of its signals. If it raises its tail perpendicularly, run. Otherwise, they will spray you, and they will not want to see you even in your house.
