They will live anywhere, usually around wooded areas, and in residential areas. Skunks do not migrate over the winter, usually finding dens, where as many as four may live together. DIET Striped skunks are omnivores, usually eating anything they can find. Skunks have also been known to be foragers, and scavengers. They will eat bird eggs.
Skunks rely on their extremely keen sense of smell to locate food, and predators.
Many times, I observed my little family of skunks walking around our yard, eating worms and bugs. This was a nightly ritual for them, and I tried not to alarm them. I did surprise them one time, on accident, but the mother quickly led the babies away. As I mentioned before, skunks are very adaptive, and can live just about anywhere, most commonly found near woods. They can take up residence anywhere there is a food source.
