This is not a common behavior in male skunks. In fact, if it ever happens, it may be the result of a male skunk with rabies. While skunks can at times be competitive, they are generally solitary and it would be unusual for them to attack or eat each other. Most skunks prefer to eat insects (especially grubs and bees); they will also eat a variety of fruits, seeds, and even small rodents. Male skunks tend to have little contact with their babies: baby skunks (called "kits") are raised by their mother.
