Typical life spans for domesticated skunks are considerably longer than for wild skunks, often reaching 10 years, though it is not unusual for a well cared skunk to live well past 20 years - this would lead me to believe that skunks in the wild live for 3-7 years, but that's certainly not their life span potential.
By comparison, the smaller shrews, among the smallest of all mammals, seldom live more than 2 years.[16] The longest recorded lifespan in the wild is that of a female Broad-tailed Hummingbird that was banded (ringed) as an adult at least one year old then recaptured 11 years later, making her at least 12 years old.
