Skunks have few natural predators due to their strong-smelling spray, which serves as a powerful defense mechanism. However, they can fall prey to larger animals such as coyotes, foxes, and great horned owls. Domestic dogs may also pose a threat, especially if they encounter skunks. Additionally, humans can be a danger to skunks through habitat destruction and vehicle collisions.
