Great horned owls eat skunks, in some cases skunks are their primary food source. They are the only animal that regularly targets them.

Saw a nature show one time that said owls are the main natural predator to skunks because they have no sense of smell.

THEY WILL EAT THEIR OWN. HAVE SEEN IT WITH MY OWN EYES. SHOT ONE FEW YEARS BACK IT TOOK ABOUT WEEK N A HALF THEN ONE NIGHT SAW 2 YOTES FEEDING ON THE DEAD ONE OUT IN THE MIDDLE OF THE FIELD. SO I WOULD SAY THEY MOST LIKELY WILL EAT SKUNKS
