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.

Why do Skunks give a stinky smell?

Skunks like all the members of the Mustelidae produce musk. But unlike the other members, skunks are able to spray the musk as far as 5-6 ft. The musk then becomes a defense mechanism and is an effective repellent against many predators. The musk not only smells bad, but when it hits the eyes of an animal, it burns. Skunks do not like the odor of their musk any more than other animals do and they use their spray as a last resort.
