Skunks on the otherhand are given a wide berth, as I mentioned, by most

have much in the way of smell, they hunt by vision and sound, so a REALLY
stinky dinner doesn't bother them. It might be interesting to see the
reaction of a skunk to the hoot of a local owl.

One of my coworkers was going for a run on some trails awhile back and he
saw a skunk in the trail ahead of him. He wanted to get it out of the
way, so he threw a rock at it to scare it off. The skunk started running
straight towards him! Jim says he learned that he can run really, really
fast when he is properly motivated.
