I think I found scientific proof that skunks are at the top of the food chain. I've seen bears attack wolves, mountain lions, elk and bison and win just about every time. I've never seen a bear successfully take down a skunk including this big guy that got schooled.
Security cameras can be very helpful in understanding when something is near your home. One Colorado family was shocked to learn that they were being watched by a very big kitty cat.
