Skunks are omnivorous; they eat small mammals like rodents (mice and such), birds, eggs, insects, berries, and honey.

They do sleep during the winter (called a "winter sleep"), but this is not considered a true hibernation.

Here is a link that has some more information on skunks:

...and, here is a Webring with all sorts of skunk-related links:
