Oh, dude, both the skunk and the skunk cabbage have this super cool adaptation where they release a smelly chemical to keep other organisms at bay. It's like their own version of a "Do Not Disturb" sign, but with a much stronger odor. So yeah, if you ever come across a skunk or skunk cabbage, just give them some space unless you want to smell like a funky mix of garlic and burnt rubber.
