yes because it sprays a nasty smell
If referring to domesticated skunks or pets then then they do an operation that takes out the stink glands.
as soon as it starts to stink
no because they will stink up your house.
Probably not. They do not help the farmer at all, and they stink a LOT.
Some other wild animals that spray like skunks include hooded skunks, spotted skunks, and stink badgers. They use this defense mechanism to ward off predators and threats.
Baby skunks could spray on you because it's their natural way to defend themselves from their predators. If you have a group of baby skunks in your house, contact the Critter Guy if you're in Canada.
As of lately, it is the weasel. The badger used to be considered the closest. In some places, the "stink badger" still is.
When threatened, they release a pharamone than many forms of life find pungent.
If by spray you mean let out the stink that skunks tend to do, then they do it because they think they are being threatened. Then they become scared and they use their "stink" to defend themselves. If you have been "sprayed" Then just take a bath in tomato juice. It'll take the stink right out.
They are usually trying to defend themselves because they feel threatened.
Stink glands are glands on certain insects and mammals that are designed to give off an odor. Skunks and stink bugs are two such animals. The stink glands are mostly used for self-defense, though they may play a role in finding partners to mate. Then there are certain mammals that have scent glands. Their odor is not as offensive, and they tend to play a role in communication and mating.
An animal that fits the description is a skunk. Skunks are black with a white stripe and can stink really bad to protect themselves from predators.
