Why do skunks fart?

Why skunks fart particularly smelly, not because they have a bad stomach, but because they have their own way of protection. A skunk has a gland on its tail. When encountering enemies, this gland can secrete a strange irritating liquid, the main component of which is mercaptan sulfide. How strong is it? If sprayed into the eyes, it will soon lead to blindness. If you spray it into your nose, you won't smell anything. Skunk skunk, as its name implies, is relatively rare in China, but it is more common in North America such as the United States and Mexico. It is about one meter long, and the hair on the shelf is relatively long, so it looks quite big, but it just looks like it. Its actual weight is only about 5 kilograms. Other animals rely on fierce fighting power to stand in nature, and it relies on its own stench, which also leads to almost no animals dare to hit it. Because the stench is so horrible that others don't provoke them, they sometimes take the initiative to provoke others, use other animals to leave, and go to other people's nests to release toxic gas, which can't be dispersed for a long time.

So skunks can generally live from birth to normal old age and then die, and their life span is generally as long as 20 years. Then the question is coming, and many friends can't help asking, since the skunk gives off such a bad smell, will it smell it by itself? Can you smoke? Skunks still have a keen sense of smell, and they can definitely smell it. Living in this environment from birth can only be said that habit becomes nature. Scientists have found through experiments that when they smell their own smell, they will obviously show discomfort, but they will not react as violently as other animals.
