Bee-ware! Skunks are one of the primary predators of honey bees. Skunks find a tasty beehive and scratch at the front. As the guard bees come out, he eats them. They will consume every bee in the hive.
Skunks have poor vision. They can't see things more than 3 metres away very clearly. This is not good when they cross a highway. Half of all skunk deaths are caused by humans - cars, shooting and poisoning. They rarely live more than 3 years.
Skunks are famous all over the universe for the scent glands in their "derrieres."
