@@hassaanahmad7453 in America? I’d understand you maybe thinking it’s a wolverine or something despite seeing the tail, colours and the spray but the honey badger is on an entirely different continent.
That was a mature enough black bear to be on it own. Most blacks dont get over 200lbs and average about 150. If a 10 uear old bear has never seen a skunk its going to engage it.
If I remember correctly, a bear’s nose is supposed to be 10 times more sensitive than a dog’s nose, which in turn is 10 times more sensitive than a human’s nose.
Throughout the exciting event, the lady is not screeching, doesn't say anything stupid, describes the action accurately, captures it all quite nicely on video, and holds a lucid telephone conversation at the same time. So many RUclips rules were broken.

@@jaxstax2406 was walking through the woods near my grandparents house and got to close, I had headphones in listening to music so if it made any fuss about my approach I didn't hear it. So I got an unexpected skunking, grandparents refused to let me back in the house had to sleep in the garage a few days.
For those wondering about the narrator, it's my wife trying to explain to me over the phone what's happening. She just happened to be able to record it too.
Skunk might not be built for speed but he sure has a style in his get away moments. Also I can just imagine him snickering as he runs away in his victory.
@@asusmctablet9180 It's not a fart. It's a hot chemical spray that burns and blisters the noses of dogs and bears. If it happens to your dog you have to wash their face, nose and eyes immediately.
They are both adorable. Nature is amazing. A tiny skunk is given a powerful weapon to protect itself from a giant animal with claws and jaws that is 100x its size.
My fiancee's parents have skunks all over the woods near their house, and without fail one of them will always walk up to me while I'm hanging out on the front porch. They just stare at me, like they're daring me to move so they can spray me. So far, staying perfectly still has worked in my favor.
I would be shooting some skunks before they got close enough to spray and maybe they would leave. My house not there's. Go away or else die. My sister got scratched by a rabid skunk so I have no sympathy for them around people. She had to get the shots to prevent getting rabies.
I think knowing they have the best defense in the neighbourhood makes them quite confident and curious, I saw a video a while back of a skunk who brought all her offspring up to check out a cyclist's bike and foot before going on their way. He stayed very still and quiet too.
I just huck small rocks from a distance. I've got better range so unless it actively wants to close and waste it's spray it'll piss off before the rocks landing close become rocks hitting it.
It's my firm belief that skunks have one of the most effective weapons in the animal kingdom. Even though it doesn't kill anyone, the smell is so bad that it instantly deters almost all enemies. No wonder that little fellow is so fearless.
This is some great footage! 0:55 you can see the spray shot - its a lot - right in the face. Poor baby bear! He will have a skunk odor headache for a week! That stuff gives you a headache up close. You did everything right. Landscape mode, no music, no yelling, described the scene, camera did not shake, and you got a unique moment, great job! Get a tripod with gimbal when you can afford it, along with a zoom lens. You have what it takes to be a wildlife photographer. I enjoyed this clip.
I love how excited the bear is! Little round ears facing forward flopping around! Idk if bears eat skunks-it looked like he was just playing chase but the skunk was clearly Not into it! lol Good on both of them, nature going how it should And even a sweet human taking delight in watching without doing anything obnoxious. 🥰

@@awboat what really doesn’t make sense is how you can’t record some thing horizontally while still holding your phone vertically. You’d think they would’ve figured that out already

This is a *superb* shot of a skunk using its spray. What an amazing thing to witness! It's this very sort of thing that caused many Native Americans to regard the skunk as a powerful spirit animal. The warlike Comanches sometimes tied skunk tails to their horses or clothing to give them power against the enemy.
@@jonathanday4553 Well, maybe not anymore scumbags than we are, but it is kinda funny to think back on the silly beliefs humans had. (A skunk tail somehow makes your horse more powerful. Lol).
Notice how the skunk stomped his feet first. Then turned around with his tail up. It's really as a last resort to the skunk sprays. And I've read that after they spray they may not be able to spray for a while. So it's kind of a last resort. As you might see, I'm a big lover of skunks. They're the cutest little guys ever
THAT was a wonderful video!!! Thank you for sharing. I've seen skunks stand off fox and other predators over road kill. That bear seemed young and full of curiosity - now he/she can't sneak around for a while with that new perfume in the fur. Very funny, thank you.
Skunks are very confident about their defenses and do not use their spray aggressively at all. They generally only spray when they genuinely feel that they must defend themselves. For one thing their scent glands only contain so much of the stuff and it takes them a while to generate more, so they don't want to deplete their ammo unnecessarily. I once walked side by side down a dirt road at night for some distance with a skunk.
Fun fact, bears have one of the strongest sense of smell in the animal kingdom, over 2,100 times stronger than a human! So imagine when you smell a skunk how it makes you gag, now imagine it 2,100 times stronger. That bear is feeling a world of hurt for a long time.
I remember being told that that's the reason bear spray is so effective, since they've got so many nerve endings in their nose, hitting a bear with bear spray is like hitting a human in the face with a baseball bat. So I can only imagine how terrible this spray must've been lol. Sometimes just passing a dead skunk on the side of the road can make your eyes water, and this bear just took that spray point blank to the face...it even looks like the bear ran into a tree towards the end lmao
After my dog got his full face blasted by nature's tactical expert on self protection, he drug his face through the dirt and vomited for over an hour while screaming. Yes, screaming. I imagine this bear had a similar experience. 😂😂😂😂
I don't know what's more surprising to me: the bear running towards the skunk and then stopping first to check it out, or the skunk making aggressive advances first rather than immediately pointing its weaponized butt.
My dog was so intelligent in so many ways but something about a skunk just couldn't resist... 6 times in her 12 years of life she got sprayed right in the face. Everything else she learned with, never a skunk 😂💕
Ms., I commend you for the great camera work and narration. This is one of those moments in nature not everyone gets a chance to see, but you were able to share it with us.
@@bpregont Yes, the unpleasantness of being sprayed by a skunk is so extreme that it is impossible to describe. For bears, with their incredible sense of smell, it must be much worse even than it is for us. And the odor remains on its target for a long, long time.
I remember the day I got sprayed by a skunk, I was just sitting on a step, all of a sudden a skunk came out of nowhere and both of us were panicking. Didn’t even have a second to think, skunk sprayed me and ran away. I remember I sent one of ma friends to get some tomato juice from Super Store. Even with tomato juice the smell was there for more than 3 days. Holly Mother of Skunks 🦨 🤦🏻♂️
There's a video on here somewhere about a mountain biker who encountered a momma skunk with 4 or 5 of her baby skunks. He stopped and stood still as they came running towards him, they were at his feet, sniffing around his shoe making whatever sounds a skunk makes when it's curious about something, funny that they didn't spray him or anything, they walked away from him.
@@sabinsnake1121 Hey thanks a lot and appreciate taking your time to let me know. I watched the video and it’s unbelievable. I am a Buddhist and I never harm any animal for any reason. But when I got the skunk in front of me I was panicked, I was trying to jump back from the step I was sitting, maybe skunk got panicked based on my reaction and sprayed. Thanks to you, I know how to react next time, but honestly I wish I wouldn’t get any Skunks near me again. It was a nightmare, this happened almost 8 years ago, I was a university student and I didn’t attend lectures for 3 days. (Now I live in a different city, sometimes I see dead skunks on highway, but fortunately I have only rabbits or deers around the neighborhood, once in a blue moon I see a fox 🦌🐇🦊)
However, their weaponry is very different, the defense mechanism that porcupines have is sharp quills that are actually modified hair, we see this feature in some rodents, however, porcupines are the only spiny rodents that have barbed quills, which can detach and can almost be difficult to remove from skin, the defense mechanism that skunks and other mephitids have is their anal musk glands, anal musk glands are a very common feature that carnivorans have, however, some anal musk glands of carnivorans have evolved to be used for defense.
Skunks are part of the wolverine, badger family, the mustelidae, who are maybe the most formidable mammal group, inch for inch and kilogram for kilogram. So, they have attitude even without spraying. Cats are humanized with their soft lives, and we love them, but no match.
I had a skunk get into the garage, and kill 3 young cats. I heard a yowl, then a commotion on the last one, and managed to shoot the skunk. It was deformed, with some kind of growth or tumor on it’s face and head. Probably had a hard time getting wild food,which is why it started eating the cats. Either that, or it was just some kind of Frankenskunk who had a taste for feline!
given a bear's strong sense of smell, i'd imagine this is the bear equivalent of some hermit in Arctic Sweden eating a taco with 15 ghost peppers inside. basically, it's not enjoyable.
It appeared the bear wasn't scared when it spotted the skunk. That bear is wiser now and will have a few days to think about that lesson. I was borderline sprayed running through the woods one night. I had 3 days to think about running through the woods at night and no longer do it.
@@AutoCrete I was out for a walk at dusk along the road behind our cabin and I accidentally spooked a skunk as it made its rounds, and I booked it for the cabin before the skunk could finish getting locked and loaded. I made a clean escape, and the next morning I wandered back over that way and I could pick up that unmistakable odor, so it was a swing and a miss for the skunk!
When you see a skunk stomp it's front feet, know that the skunk means business. lol I have had the pleasure of seeing baby skunks stomping at me. I laughed, obviously I am not stupid enough to not heed their warnings. But seeing a baby skunk stomp those front feet is adorable to say the least. Gorgeous animals but I hate it when they hang around the house. No way you can keep your windows open at night. AUGH!
Very cool! One time I had gone home for a weekend from college with my new gf at the time. All of a sudden one of my dogs was yelping in the front yard. I opened the door and he came bolting inside full of skunk spray. This happened around midnight and ended in another 4 hours of cleaning up. The concoction we found online worked superbly.
@@emarie4053 Standard home remedies would probably include tomato products, baking soda and maybe hydrogen peroxide. There is a product sold at pet stores and online called 'Nature's Miracle,' which actually breaks down enzymes that would probably work. It's normally used for feces and urine, so that with the enzyme breakdown, the pet is not supposed to come back to the spot, which is normal for other home products which may destroy the odor, but leave the enzymes.
Not only does getting sprayed stink, it burns too. Not like pepper spray, but still burns. I got sprayed tossing out garbage one night and learned this the hard way.
Before I retired, I went to work at 4:00 AM. One time I went down my stairs and walked right into a skunk - fortunately we both ran away from each other in opposite directions. That will wake you up better than coffee.
The bear learned a valuable lesson the most putrid way possible. He won’t be messing with skunks anymore. I wonder how long it took that bear to get the skunk spray out of its eyes? It’s probably still running.
Wow! What an awesome video! 😀 👍 I spend a good amount of time in the outdoors and I know how rare it is to see these kinds of things, much less capture them on video. It's amazing to watch. Thanks for sharing!

Old Skunk: c’mon fatty, you wanna fight? Youre going to learn your lesson today!
Miss your commentary would be accepted any day. Thank you for bringing us this video.
My dog being sprayed by a skunk brought me here lol... Had to go on youtube to see how they do vs other animals
You're gonna need more than 2 squares to clean that mess up, Mr. Bear.
hehe, the skunk's doin a victory lap while the bear learned a valuable lesson the hard way.
Not very many small animals can scare a bear, a skunk is one of them.
It appeared the bear wasn't scared when it spotted the skunk. That bear is wiser now and will have a few days to think about that lesson. I was borderline sprayed running through the woods one night. I had 3 days to think about running through the woods at night and no longer do it.
@@AutoCrete I was out for a walk at dusk along the road behind our cabin and I accidentally spooked a skunk as it made its rounds, and I booked it for the cabin before the skunk could finish getting locked and loaded. I made a clean escape, and the next morning I wandered back over that way and I could pick up that unmistakable odor, so it was a swing and a miss for the skunk!
One of the best videos about animals interacting. Great job! I think David Attenborough would be impressed. 🤗🖖💕
Skunk reigns over the forest with the ease of a scented breeze.
Awww, that little bear sure did F*ck around and Found Out!
He didnt charge he warned him. Great footage tho so cool!
Lesson learned, I actually feel bad for that little bear. LOL!
Young bear gets taught a lesson. 😀
see how the skunk is first feinting an attack to draw the bear in, once the bear is at the proper distance, release payload and fall back 😂
Bear : Ha ha ha!! You're dinner!!
Skunk : are u sure about that?
*Sparys at the bear*
Bear : Oh crap!!
0:55 Skunk: YEET Bear: OOF
When you see a skunk stomp it's front feet, know that the skunk means business. lol I have had the pleasure of seeing baby skunks stomping at me. I laughed, obviously I am not stupid enough to not heed their warnings. But seeing a baby skunk stomp those front feet is adorable to say the least. Gorgeous animals but I hate it when they hang around the house. No way you can keep your windows open at night. AUGH!
Coyote urine powder helps.
thank you for posting this. It is the funniest thing I have seen in a while!
Getting skunked is bad. Getting skunked when your sense of smell is 2100 times stronger would be the worst kind of hell.
I. Guess I'm only one who saw the open season for bears sign..no ones going for his fur lol hahaha 😂😆🤣😅😜😄😂😆
BEAR SPRAY!
great job catching that spray on camera.very nice.
Very cool! One time I had gone home for a weekend from college with my new gf at the time. All of a sudden one of my dogs was yelping in the front yard. I opened the door and he came bolting inside full of skunk spray. This happened around midnight and ended in another 4 hours of cleaning up. The concoction we found online worked superbly.
@@emarie4053 Standard home remedies would probably include tomato products, baking soda and maybe hydrogen peroxide. There is a product sold at pet stores and online called 'Nature's Miracle,' which actually breaks down enzymes that would probably work. It's normally used for feces and urine, so that with the enzyme breakdown, the pet is not supposed to come back to the spot, which is normal for other home products which may destroy the odor, but leave the enzymes.
Not only does getting sprayed stink, it burns too. Not like pepper spray, but still burns.
I got sprayed tossing out garbage one night and learned this the hard way.
Before I retired, I went to work at 4:00 AM. One time I went down my stairs and walked right into a skunk - fortunately we both ran away from each other in opposite directions. That will wake you up better than coffee.
That's amazing that you were able to capture that
I’m glad u got it on camera too…brilliant 😁🥰
Judging by the size and energy of the bear, he was pretty young, but learned a valuable lesson without getting seriously injured or killed.
Yeah, I think it's definately better than a lesson on Porcupines.
This is why bears lobbied to have chemical weapons banned.
I could predict the winner is the skunk everytime
Great video. Well captured, steady hand and great filming. Nice work.
oops. p u i hope that bear learned his lesson and will never get too close to a skunk again. keep that black and white stinker away from my house.
This is great!!! Go skunk go baby!! ❤️
The bear learned a valuable lesson the most putrid way possible. He won’t be messing with skunks anymore. I wonder how long it took that bear to get the skunk spray out of its eyes? It’s probably still running.
Bear took a mouthful of “skank juice”
Wow! What an awesome video! 😀 👍
I spend a good amount of time in the outdoors and I know how rare it is to see these kinds of things, much less capture them on video. It's amazing to watch. Thanks for sharing!
Bear's sense of smell is about 2000 times better than a human. Now imagine his pain after getting sprayed by that skunk. Rip 🙏
Just wait until that cub gets home. The welcome may not be as warm as usual.
It gives chemical burns in the eyes too.
This.. Is how you record🔥🔥. Great job.
Poor bear is going to be all alone for weeks now and probably ran into the woods to puke in privacy.
The contrast of the black fur really shows off that spray
Great work capturing that 👍🏼
