Skunks are omnivorous; they eat grubs, insects, small rodents, snakes, frogs, carrion, fruit, berries, bird eggs and garbage.

Skunks carry an array of diseases including RABIES (a virus that can be transmitted to humans if bitten).

Most litters are born in May and June; 4-6 young per litter.

Weaned from the mother when around 2 months old.
