Antivenom

Skunks have an interesting immunity or high tolerance to venom. Skunks diet consists of normal foods, but also includes bees, wasps, yellow jackets, and poisonous snakes. They are extremely clever when it comes to catching this prey as well. To lure out bees skunks will scratch at the hive to alarm them. The bees will fly out to respond to the threat allowing the skunk to catch them. When consuming their prey skunks suck out the insides and spit out the carcass. As they feast on the bees it is likely they will be stung but often choose smaller hives to avoid too many stings. While skunks have seemingly high tolerance to bees, there have also been cases in which they died from bee stings.
