Some animals smell like feces or rotten meat for self-defense or communicate in the natural world, while others smell because of the diet.

If too close to the skunk, it will release thiol sulfuric, the gas smells like rot. Not only stunned, this gas also causes respiratory arrest and temporary blindness, allowing enough time for ferrets to flee.

The green hooping bird lives in tropical Africa, also has a stench-like smell in the tail used to threaten the enemy.Birds can spray fluid like liquid feces into enemies when attacked from a distance of 60 cm.

The seabird Fulmars, which have relatives with albatross, also have a terrible smell. They eat everything, from fish to garbage. When threatened, or someone invades the nest, they will spray gastric juice that smells like feces on the enemy.
According to the BBC, like seabirds, sea ducks spray liquid feces throughout the nest and eggs when threatened. In addition, this rotten fluids also work to protect them from parasites and bacteria.
The scientists found 17 antimicrobial compounds in the droppings of feces, which protect it from lice, bacteria, yeast, mold, and even fungi.

The Bombardier beetle contains hydroquinone (a powerful detergent) and hydrogen peroxide (aged oxygen water) in separate chambers in the abdomen. When threatened, it will erupt two things, creating a hot compound to almost 100 degrees Celsius. This temperature will kill the enemy, even causing pain to humans.
"The bombardier is extremely scary," said Mark Siddal, a New York-based natural history museum expert.

While some animals have the ability to smell, lazy people smell because of others. In the dry season, their feathers are gray, but when the rainy season comes, or the wet weather lasts, their feathers turn green.
That's because an algae grows on their feathers. According to scientists, this algae provides essential nutrition or helps the baby to camouflage. This explains why sloths often live longer in natural conditions, compared to being lazy in captivity.
In addition, the lazy body is also the habitat of beetles and moths. Beetle Scarab lives under the elbow and knee layer of sloths, lazy stool also appears beetle larvae.
Scientists also found 980 species of beetles, three ticks, and 120 moth larvae on a lazy body.They concluded that sloths are one of the most stinking creatures on Earth.

The hoatzin that lives in the Amazon mangrove forest and the South American Orinoco plain is also known as the "stinking bird."Their bodies smell like feces.This is the only bird in the world that only eats leaves.

According to scientists, this diet produces a characteristic odor.Bacteria in the bird's gut break the leaves, ferment, release the air.

Sperm whale is the largest carnivore in the world. Every day, he eats about a ton of fish and squid. When eaten, the squid spewed out a dark black fluid, which contained a poison that paralyzed the enemy. To protect themselves, the whale releases a wax.
As a result, the squid and wax fluid are mixed together, forming the ambergris that are excreted by the sperm whale.Two French chemists Joseph Bienaimé Caventou and Pierre Joseph Pelletier were the first to use ambergris as a substrate in perfume.

Hyenas often roam over large areas, mark territory and communicate with each other by using an anal-producing oil, which has a fecal-like odor.
Hyena rubs oil on a baby with herd, or onto another child's territory to occupy the territory.Each herd of hyenas has a different smell.When a child is not in the same group, he must apply oil to himself, so that other members can recognize it when he returns.

Finally, according to BBC, humans are one of the most smelly animals in the world. Each part of the human body emits its own odor, while the animal emits only one odor.
Adults excrete water, protein, amino acids, urea, ammonia, lactic acid and salt. These ingredients have a characteristic odor, combined with living microorganisms on the skin, forming many odors.
Humans produce more volatile compounds than birds and other mammals.When you wake up, hormonal glands are active, releasing many chemicals combined with bacteria, making people smell very hard to smell.(Photo: Universonatural)
