Skunks

Yes, it's too bad that skunks have such a unique method of self-defense. It gets them into a lot of trouble with fair-nosed humans.

Skunks are kind of sort of related to weasels, but not in the same family. They have special glands near the anus that can spray a stinky sulphur compound up to fifteen feet. They usually only spray if provoked, in a means of self-defense. The spray can actually cause temporary loss of vision in the attacker, if it's hit in the eyes. Males skunks also sometimes spray during mating season. Sometimes people have a problem with skunks when skunks start digging up grubs from a lawn.
