Dogs are a very good way to keep a wild skunk away. Live traps are an option but it is hard to release without getting a spraying.

They will eat Texas Persimmons, Evergreen sumac, Juniper berries, and Yaupon berries.
They entertain themselves by passing gases and messing up
There is no known answer to what an usually small skunk is called. There are five species of skunks and all are different size
Skunks can only run about ten miles per hour and will not try to outrun a predator.
One reason autos are so dangerous to the skunk is simply the speed of approach. The skunk will stand still to spray, and most drivers wrongly expect the skunk to move away as other wild animals do.
Neither, while skunks share the same kingdom, phylum, class, and order with dogs and cats, all three belong to different families. The skunk belongs to the Musteloida family whereas dogs belong to the Canidae family and cats belong to the Felidae family.
you can use high amounts of tomato juice....like 3 or 4 gallons depending on the dog size...just give the dog a complete bath in tomato juice. also if you have a pet store nearby they usually sell an oatmeal based shampoo that is used specifically to get skunk smell out of dog fur.

There is a product called the Rat Zapper that works great for squirrels and chipmunks.
nocturnal or animals of the night
the muskrats fur feels really rough, and is sleek cuz its a water animal. Glossy is another word for it though.
Apparently, the dung beetle pollinates this plant (skunk cabbage).
Not in the same sense as say, bears. Skunks will sleep in more or less burrows or trenches, but they do not hibernate in caves ( or Ice floes) like the Bears do. They are up and around most of the year.
no it is not. it just stinks.. it might be if you eat it... some kind of fetish? nice
Yes, skunks can eat bamboo leaves, they eat a variety of plants as well as a variety of fruits, vegetables, and small animals.
Usually skunks are the only animal who have a long record of doing this.
There are other animals like the grey and red fox that spray their urine or musk to deter predators. Most animals spray urine to mark territory. Wild house cats have been know to spray also. However, in most of these cases, the culprit is usually the dog. Dogs have a tendency to want to roll in a scent as part of their hunting instinct. It is an age old tradition by deer hunters to cut a full bladder of urine out of a deer and save it to mask human scent for the hunt. Humans learned this technique from animals themselves.
Make up the following mixture and spray it on your car where the smell seems to be. . If you get the mixture on all the skunk smell it reacts chemically to kill the smell. ( Works great on dogs and other animals that may have been sprayed.)
1 quart of 3 percent Peroxide
1/4 cup Baking Soda
1 tsp of liquid Soap
Fox use their thick, fur to insulate their bodies. They also create warm dens to protect themselves from the elements.
Of course, desert fox adaptions are dissimilar.
