The primary predator of skunks is the Great Horny Owl. Visit any of their

you'll smell the unmistakable skunk odor.

Web site sources report that foxes and dogs, among others, also prey on
skunks but I find this hard to believe. I've seen dogs flee at the mere
sight of Mr. Skunk or else bark while at a safe distance.

Most likely the most common killer of skunks has four wheels. Then it is up
to the crows to do the cleanup and they don't seem to be put off by the
smell at all.
