Skunks

Skunks can be 8 days old before they can spray. Its their only defence against predators

We are animals, after all, no matter how often mom called you "angel". We are chemical factories that process all kinds of things that contain widely varying amounts of fiber, rough and dietary, sugars, acids, proteins, fats etc. We extract energy from some of this stuff, and we produce organic waste. Many organic compounds, including ones produced or duplicated in the lab, produce odors of various kinds and over a wide range from pleasant [some esters] to unpleasant [sulphur compounds]. It's no surprise that our bodies produce some smelly organic compounds. Everyone experiences flatulence from time to time. If it is excessive, you should see your doctor. Your doctor has heard of it; you won't shock or stump her/him.

The resin, toxins, and other chemicals left over in your bong water or piece are caked on and start to smell bad if not properly soaked / washed with soap.

Clean your pipe! Clean your water!

Smoke cannabis and be merry! Live prosperous and happy!

No a skunk is not a producer it is a consumer it is a omnivore and it the middle of the food chain.

No, spray does't make people sick. If you are bitten by an unvaccinated skunk, you need to worry about rabies, but rabies cannot be transmitted by spray. However, the smell might make you vomit.

Many people say squirrels are this, and squirrels are that, but really everything contributes something to this Earth. For one, squirrels actually help to plant seeds, and grow trees. When the winter approaches they like to plant their seeds in certain places, for storage, to come back to. But, they sometimes forget those hiding places, leaving the seed to grow into a new tree or plant.

Skunks have a special gland that produces the liquid spray. A skunk lifts its tail and releases the spray when it is scared. It creates a terrible stench that wards off predators and makes skunks very unpopular.

It depends, male, female, age??? Females around late 40's go through menopause. That's exactly what it sounds like. Even younger females who have had their ovaries removed go through the same thing. It could also be thyroid problems, in which case you should see your doctor. It is not obvious good for you to be feeling this way. Many things can cause it, but we'd be guessing because we aren't doctors. To calm you down a little it could be (as the above poster said) your thyroid gland, also it could be your adrenal gland. You could be suffering from malnutrition, anemia or a variety of other things. If you have been under a lot of stress or been through a trauma it could well be an anxiety attack. Anxiety attacks cause excessive sweating, nausea, dizziness, a feeling of panic and wanting to run away and hide. Also, if you are on ANY medications please look your medication up on www.google.com Find out what the side effects are. When you get up in the morning sit on the side of the bed. Don't just jump out of the bed and go to the washroom. Sit for 5 minutes, then slowly get up. I stress that you should see your doctor as soon as you can. Don't panic, you're probably OK and it's something that is easily fixable. Good luck and let us know how you are doing.

There is no exact count of how many skunks live in the US. Skunk populations can vary based on factors like habitat availability and food sources. Generally, skunks are common throughout the United States.

Mephitis mephitis for the striped skunk. There are several skunk species with different

scientific names, of course.

Skunks have long been classified as a subfamily of the weasel family (Mustelidae). Genetic data, however, suggest placement of skunks in their own family, Mephitidae (mephitis being Latin for “bad odour”).

The scientific name for orangutan is Pongo. There are three species within the genus Pongo: Pongo abelii (Sumatran orangutan), Pongo pygmaeus (Bornean orangutan), and Pongo tapanuliensis (Tapanuli orangutan).

A group of skunks is called a surfeit or a stench.

'Watashi WA houhi wo shiteimasu'.

'Watashi WA onara wo koiteiru'. (more casual/informal)

In Irish: scúnc (animal); suarachán or bréantachán (a person). In Scottish Gaelic: ?

There is a gland in the anus that holds the spray for when it is needed. The spray is not pee. It is a special oily concoction that is made for the express purpose of deterring preditors.

Actually, there are two glands. One on each side of the anus. They are supported by a strong muscle which allows the skunk to spray up to 15 feet. The spray doesn't actually come from the anus.

See:

This is done by surgery, the vet removes the scent gland.

Skunk musk is the vapor that comes from the skunks scent gland.

Real skunk "perfume" smells just like the chemical, 'Butyl mercaptan'.

No. Skunks are placental mammals of the family Mephitidae.

Tasmanian devils are marsupials of the family Dasyuridae.

First find the source of the dampness that is causing the smell and fix that issue. You may need to replace drywall or flooring that has become too wet. Otherwise, cleaning with bleach or other mildew killing cleaner should reduce the issue. Make sure you have enough ventilation and air for the air to dry out.

I believe if you are able to hold the skunk's hind legs off the ground, (by the tail, careful they can still bite) it will not be able to squeeze the gland holding the spray.

Yes that's why when you have a skunk living near you , you should get it away as soon as possible :)
