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.
