Skunk musk is the vapor that comes from the skunks scent gland.
Skunks have their scent gland from the day they are born, and can spray when they are only 8 days old. Skunks will warn you when they are about to spray. First they face you with their tail in the air, then they stamp their front feet before turning their behind toward you and spraying.The skunks scent gland mature in less than a month from birth. This allows them to expel a fine spray of fluid smelling liquid less than 4 weeks of age.
yes
This is done by surgery, the vet removes the scent gland.
Defensive adaptations are the adaptations animals use to defend themselves from predators. Skunks have developed a scent gland under their tails that emits a strong, noxious odor when they feel scared or threatened.
They spray a stinky fluid on the threatening force.
hog nosed skunks spray just like any other skunk.
All skunks are born with the scent glands and learn to use them within a few weeks of birth.
The yellowish-cream belly on a mature male koala is the result of its scent gland. Male koalas have a scent gland on their belly which produces a very strong scent, and tends to leave a brownish stain.
