Eagles

Skunks are quite vulnerable to strikes from the air. They can't discharge their fluids in the time since they can't see the air above them, especially if they become startled.


Eagles are among the greatest acrobatic predators. Eagles are huge, well built, and have enormous heads and beaks. Despite having less aerodynamic feathers, even the tiniest eagles, such as the booted eagle (Aquila pennata), which is equivalent in size to a common buzzard (Buteo buteo) or red-tailed hawk (B. jamaicensis), have considerably longer and more uniformly spread wings and more direct, quicker flight. A few vultures and the majority of eagles are the largest raptors. They don't have many natural predators as they are at the top of the food chain or close to it. Additionally, they have excellent vision. Astonishingly, they can detect a skunk or a rabbit up to three kilometers away.

Their nearly excellent eyesight allows them to surprise and catches skunks off guard before they can spray their offensive odor. The eagle will either kill the skunk there and then transport it to another location till it matures and becomes an even easier meal for the eagle to consume.
