Here's what to know:
* Not unlimited: They have a finite amount of musk, and it takes time to replenish.
* Multiple sprays: They can spray multiple times in quick succession.
* Rest period: They need some time to recover and produce more musk after a spray. This can be a few minutes to several hours.
* Individual variation: The exact number of sprays and the time between them can vary depending on the individual skunk and its situation.
It's important to remember that skunks are shy animals who only spray as a last resort. They'll typically give warnings like stomping their feet, hissing, and raising their tail before resorting to spraying.
