Yes, skunks are nocturnal (technically they are crepuscular, meaning they come out at dawn and dusk ), meaning they do sleep during the day. The majority of skunks that you can see during the day are hungry mothers who have reversed eating habits. Most people think that skunks do not like light, but actually, they do not mind it. It is just that bugs are more prone to be vulnerable during the night.

Skunks are found in both North and South America, not including the northernmost parts of Canada. There are four different species of skunks found in North America and the most common is the striped skunk. Spotted skunks usually live in northern Mexico. Hooded skunks are found in the southwestern parts of the United States. Skunks like to live in open lands next to forest areas and in clearings. Skunks typically make their homes along rivers, logs, or in thickets. Most skunks have more than one home and will travel from one to the other during the day. If they get near human homes, they will pick sheds, porches, decks and woodpiles to construct a home at. Skunks are also sensitive to light, so they will find a place that is relatively dark.
