Skunks
The size of a cat or smaller with long fur and bushy tails, skunks are easily identified by their distinctive black and white coloration. These near-sighted omnivores have a hearty appetite for grubs and insect pests, and have also been known to consume mice and small rats. They are members of the Mustelid family, which also includes weasels, martens, and badgers. Skunks are found throughout North America, with only one species found in Asia.

Yes, I've seen it with my own eyes. We found a 2 young rabbits in a shallow depression under the bunk of our pop-up camper. During the night we were awaken by a shrill scream.

How do you remove skunk odor from hardwood floors?
I hope you get a better answer on this, but I firmly believe you can't. The only reasonable solution is to remove the floor where the skunk has sprayed. It might help a bit if you use a UV light (Skunk spray is fluorescent in UV) to see the spray location. Good luck.
YES! My mom's dog was visiting, and literally was sniffing the skunk when she got a full spray in the face. She then proceeded to come into my house dripping in skunk. It then dripped all over my floors which are all hardwood. I immediately goggled skunk hardwood floors, and it was not encouraging. However in a blog I found this product. I was a bit skeptical at first, but it worked! No more smell.

What if a dog won't eat or drink after being sprayed by a skunk?
It probably got skunk spray in its mouth, which can make it hard to taste anything but it. Best way to deal with it is to wash the poor dog's mouth with tomato juice or some other skunk removing substance that's non-toxic. I'd see your vet.
How do you remove skunk odor off a cat?
This might sound crazy, but give it the same treatment as humans: a bath in tomato juice. If this doesn't work, put tomato juice in a spray-bottle and spray it --- NOT in the eyes! But after, be sure to give your cat a normal shampoo with cat shampoo. This will get rid of the tomato scent, and when she bathes herself she won't get a mouthful of tomato. [Cats hate veggies.]
They make sounds like cats. They hiss or screach like other animals too.
