Many skunks may share the same den for several reasons, including protection from predators and harsh weather conditions. Dens provide a safe space for raising young, allowing mothers to collaborate in caring for their offspring. Additionally, skunks are social animals, and communal living can help enhance their survival through increased vigilance and resource sharing. This behavior is particularly common during the breeding season or in colder months when warmth is essential.

Does skunk migrate?
If you are asking whether they move from a state with a cold climate to a warmer state, they generally do not. They are territorial creatures, and once they find a place to get food and raise their young, they tend to stay in that area, even if the weather gets stormy and cold. Skunks build a den and in bad weather, they will hibernate with other skunks, leaving their den when they need to find food. But if you are asking whether a skunk will only stay in one area, the answer is they are willing to find a new territory, especially if their current environment becomes inhospitable (not enough food, too many predators, humans who set traps for them, etc). But while skunks will move on, they generally do not travel extremely long distances if they don't have to.
