Best Answer

Skunks can only run about ten miles per hour and will not try to outrun a predator.

One reason autos are so dangerous to the skunk is simply the speed of approach. The skunk will stand still to spray, and most drivers wrongly expect the skunk to move away as other wild animals do.

Skunks travel extensively within their home range - sometimes one to two miles per night, crossing and recrossing the area as they search for food. Source: http://www.wildliferescueleague.org/report/skunks.html
