Skunks
The skunk’s main predators include owls and other large birds of prey, like hawks and eagles. Other than vultures, these raptors can't smell and strike quickly from above. Mammals like coyotes and large domestic dogs prey on skunks, but usually only if there’s no other food source available.
A skunk’s tracks look like mini bear tracks. Both feature long claws, five toes, a heel pad and a metacarpal pad. Surprisingly, skunks and bears eat mostly the same things as they’re both omnivores.
