Explanation:
Detailed explanation-1: -Skunk Behavior Activity: Skunks are nocturnal, so they are most active at night. They do not hibernate, but they tend to be inactive during the coldest months in winter, when many gather in communal dens for warmth. For the remainder of the year, skunks are generally solitary, living and foraging alone.
Detailed explanation-2: -Predators. The striped skunk wards off most predators through its well-known defense mechanism: a smelly fluid that the skunk can spray up to 12 feet. In addition to having a strong smell, the spray can also sting predators if it hits their eyes.
