Skunks have predators, including:

  • Birds of prey: Large birds of prey like eagles, hawks, and great horned owls are predators of skunks. Great horned owls are the skunk’s only regular predator because they are not deterred by the skunk’s spray.
  • Mammals: Coyotes, foxes, bobcats, badgers, and cougars are predators of skunks.However, most predators seldom attack skunks because they fear being sprayed.
