I tried to shoo a skunk off my property one morning before work because my dogs were barking at it. I wouldn’t get closer than about 20 feet. I yelled at it and waved my arms. The skunk was indifferent. I threw a stick at it and it stomped it’s front feet at me and made a noise, so I went to work. The skunk took his time and left whenever he felt like it.

Genetic evidence moved the skunk to its own family, Mephitidae, in the ‘90s along with stink badgers (formerly classed with badgers). Badgers are indeed Mustelids, which do have anal scent glands (except the sea otter), but they’re mostly for marking territory and finding a mate, although they can be used for self defense. Badgers generally get by on being a powerful, aggressive, very long-clawed creature; assets that skunks lack. Hence the skunk is much more reliant on their stink attack and warnings thereof: striking coloration, and the classic skunk stomp, as you say.

Both are related to the Mustilade family, in fact up until recently skunks were considered a mustlid, The mustilade family is braver then even the feline family. They all share similar traits, including scent or musk glands that produce a strong odor. All tend to be very courageous against bigger animals, they all do a war dance/stomp type of defensive behavior(partially seen when skunk stomps the ground infront of Badger., They are all extremely smart, Usually finding cunning ways to attack prey much larger. Ferrets, otters, polecats, and wolverines all belong to the Mustelidae family. Gentic analysis has suggested skunks are part of a seperate family how ever you couldnt tell based off traits and behavior.

@@agresticumbra The only animal I could discover through research that may have an actual viable counter to a skunk was the owl. Apparently owls have almost no sense of smell at all, which I learned. But also I learned, even then, they have to be a large enough owl to be able to snatch one with their claws and not be too weighted down to be able to take flight with it. Otherwise, it is a potential skunk sniper. It would make sense to me it would have to be a flight animal or something capable of extreme speed or stealth. I thought perhaps a hawk could counter it, but apparently it's the owl with its keen night vision, flight, and poor sense of smell.
