Skunks
Skunks normally do not attack, unless feeling threatened. If you see a skunk in the wild, do not approach it. Skunks spray a foul smelling scent to repel potential predators, in most instances the spray is harmless. However, for dogs, this spray can cause red blood cells to be destroyed.
Skunks have front claws which make the perfect tools for digging, but also scratching. They can also bite. Skunks can carry rabies, and when exposed to humans it can have extremely negative side effects.
