Anyone see skunks eat rattlesnakes?

We got skunks in camp all the time, I've darn near stepped on them and they've been super chill. We have two dogs, one of them is flat stupid. He's been skunked I think 12 times now? We call him Skunkmaster 12,000 now. He leveled up since Skunkmaster 3,000. Anyway, other dog never got hit at all, she'll go back and sniff near it, but the stupid dog actually tries to bite the skunk and it actually takes aggressive physical contact to make these skunks spray. I saw enjoy your new striped smelly cat and if he runs off some rattlers it's a bonus. We don't kill skunks, coyotes, or raccoons near camp because rattlesnakes are a much worse enemy for us around there.

Our prairie rattlers are about like the skunks you are describing. Only had one dog get bit but she was biting at the snake for a good minute before it struck. Most the time the snakes will tuck tail and hide their heads before getting aggressive. This skunk has shown zero interest in us or the house yet. Hopefully he stays out in the meadows hunting packrats and snakes and leaves the house and dogs alone.

You have to admire his perseverance… or not.

My in-laws have a large black lab that they have paid for 9 surgeries to remove socks stuck in the dogs digestive track. I mean at some point I would think either the dog or the human would figure out how to not have a sock get eaten and stuck!
