Top 10 Smelliest Animals with bad body odour

Skunk Skunks are famous for their foul-smelling spray, which they use as a defense mechanism. The spray contains sulfur compounds that produce a strong, rotten egg-like odor.

Wolverine Known as the "skunk bear," wolverines release a musky scent from their anal glands, which they use to mark their territory. The smell is so potent that it can deter predators.

Tasmanian Devil These marsupials emit a strong, musky odor when threatened. The smell comes from glands located near their tails and can be quite overpowering.

Stinkbug Stinkbugs release a foul-smelling liquid from glands on their abdomen when disturbed. The odor is described as a mix of rotting vegetables and chemicals.

Musk Ox The musk ox produces a strong musky odor during mating season. The smell, used to attract females, is emitted from glands located near their eyes.

Hyena Hyenas secrete a pungent liquid from glands under their tails. This liquid, called "paste," is used to mark their territory and has a strong, rancid smell.

Bombardier Beetle This beetle can spray a hot, noxious chemical from its abdomen as a defense mechanism. The mixture includes chemicals like hydroquinone and hydrogen peroxide, creating a foul smell.
