Usually skunks are the only animal who have a long record of doing this. There are other animals like the grey and red fox that spray their urine or musk to deter predators. Most animals spray urine to mark territory. Wild house cats have been know to spray also. However, in most of these cases, the culprit is usually the dog. Dogs have a tendency to want to roll in a scent as part of their hunting instinct. It is an age old tradition by deer hunters to cut a full bladder of urine out of a deer and save it to mask human scent for the hunt. Humans learned this technique from animals themselves.
