Skunks are nocturnal animals by nature and usually travel in groups at night unless they get separated. A skunk may make an appearance during the day if it is disturbed or threatened.

Do skunks seep during the day?

Yes, skunks are nocturnal (technically they are crepuscular, meaning they come out at dawn and dusk ), meaning they do sleep during the day. The majority of skunks that you can see during the day are hungry mothers who have reversed eating habits. Most people think that skunks do not like light, but actually, they do not mind it. It is just that bugs are more prone to be vulnerable during the night.
