Can a skunk still spray after it is dead?

Yes, a skunk can still spray even after it is dead. The muscles that control the spray glands can still be stimulated even after the animal is no longer alive. If the deceased skunk's body is moved, the muscles around the glands may tense up and release a spray. It's important to avoid getting in contact with the spray as it has a very unpleasant odor and can be harmful to eyes, nose, mouth and skin. It's best to leave the deceased animal alone and call animal control to remove it.
