Skunks are playful, nonchalant, and aren’t intimidated by anyone or anything. Most people know better than to cross them, as they will hold their ground when challenged. They’re easy-going without being cocky or arrogant, in fact, they’re the ultimate pacifist. The courageous skunk can assert themselves with being aggressive and always prefer to avoid conflict. They know how to walk the line between prudence and imposing justice. The skunk symbolizes humility, protection, self-confidence, and diplomacy.
