Yes, skunks are omnivorous and will eat small animals such as mice and rats sometimes, as well as insects and worms. A Mexican pygmy skunk has even been seen eating bats!

Why do Skunks give a stinky smell?

Skunks like all the members of the Mustelidae produce musk. But unlike the other members, skunks are able to spray the musk as far as 5-6 ft. The musk then becomes a defense mechanism and is an effective repellent against many predators. The musk not only smells bad, but when it hits the eyes of an animal, it burns. Skunks do not like the odor of their musk any more than other animals do and they use their spray as a last resort.
