In response to an earlier post of today, I must come to the defense of the skunk, as she or he is not oily. The skunk has a lustrous coat. Although the skunk can be considered shifty (tricky or crafty) per the dictionary definition, this is an advantage to it's longevity. As a hunter, I encountered a skunk while stalking deer. Myself, armed with a .410 shotgun, spotted a Skunk, as she ( males run, females are aggressive) spotted me. She was face on to me behind a tree, as we locked gaze, she backed around the tree, I knew what was in store, she intended to back around and attack. Skunks attack with their pungent musk which can spray 30 feet. As the tail started to appear around the backside of the tree, I laid a round upside of her by 3 inches, the Skunk, having met it's match bolted, and I was left unscented. In sum, we had awkwardly stumbled onto each other, stated our positions, learned something, and both left unscathed.
