A skunk's ecosystem primarily includes diverse habitats such as forests, grasslands, and suburban areas, where they find shelter and food. They are omnivores, feeding on insects, small mammals, fruits, and plants, which makes them important for pest control and seed dispersal. Skunks play a role in the food web, serving as prey for larger predators while also influencing the populations of their prey species. Their unique defensive mechanism, spraying a foul-smelling liquid, helps them avoid predation and maintain their ecological niche.
