this always confuses me. can't you get rid of the skunk smell off of you just with tomato juice? i am definitely not going anywhere near those little stinkers. no way.
My dog has been sprayed 4 or 5 times now. The smell you smell when one has sprayed somewhere in the neighborhood is not nearly as potent as when it's up close. When it's up close it smells like a mixture of burning orange peels and burning rubber and it causes irritation in your sinuses to boot. It's brutal.
I've had skunks come running next to me 6 separate times while riding a bike at night, don't know why but they just start running next to me. Considering I don't ride a lot at night 6 times seems like a lot. Different areas and different years too, so it wasn't just one skunk that did this. Luckily it seemed like they were just playing and had no interest in spraying.
Great video!! I love skunks, I use to rescue them back in the 70s or remove them from homes of people who didn't appreciate them. I noticed decades ago that if I was hungover and smelled a skunk it immediately cleared my head. I'm now 70 and have lung problems and trying to get my doctor to look into this chemistry because I find it clears my lungs and helps me breathe better. I will let you know what we find, you might find it interesting. Thanks for the information!
Noblesse Oblige correction, it’s a 3/4 beat dance music, therefore it could be a type of a waltz, not a polka which is a 2/4 beat dance (sorry, a music nerd here)
I saw a skunk eating some garbage on my porch/deck in my backyard, the skunk was right outside our door and our door has a big window from top to bottom. It was so beautiful and it looked like the white back with a black line seperating the middle. (in the video!) It looked so cute and fluffy! I have a video of it in my videos so go check it out!
Mercaptin is also whats added to natural-gas to give it that rotten egg smell, as a saftey feature because its normally odorless and highly explosive. They cerntainly dont smell the same.
What are you doing washing HIS clothes? Let him live with it. The clothes of half the under-30 males in the U.S. smell that way and they don't seem to mind it. They don't even change their bed linens in college. They just spray them with Febreze. :-)
Just looked this up after a crazy skunk experience, I found one hiding behind my coach in my living room and someone I got it to walk back outside without spraying

One thing you don’t mention is that domestic skunks’ legal status varies by state (I live among the nation’s highest concentration of environmentalists, in California. Here, pet skunks are a no-no) Anybody who wants one should run it by their governing bodies.
Wish I saw this before mishap couple nights ago 😂. Should have not use water first but first aid to rinse the eye is needed so challenging to deal with the musk. It’s best to have any skunk remover product handy for every pet owner.
Crossing the highway late last night, he didn't look left and he didn't look right. Didn't see the station wagon car. Skunk got squashed, there you are. You got a dead skunk in the middle of the road....stinkin to high heaven.
Our friends dog was just spray was just sprayed. My daughter says I don't smell but, I keep thinking I do. It is just the smell stuck in my nose? I was at least 20feet from it
OK. I am one of those weirdos that actually likes the smell of skunk. Maybe not right in my face or a direct hit to my person (which I have had), but I like the smell in the air. Eau de skunk. I live in the country and these adorable critters are around a lot. I have had to gently urge them out of precarious situations in my barn. Once I learned how to behave around them, I do not get sprayed and mlle. skunk walks free.
The H02O and baking soda and detergent is applied and allowed to stay on the items sprayed my change the smell to either a garlic smell or a coffee smell..
We have skunks in the west coast of Canada and they're out there spraying every single night. I can't take it anymore!! The smell is so strong each day. What is going on out there?
On a tangent....skunk spray is also highly flammable. Please fund my Kickstarter, so we can genetically modify an ignition source into the cute bastards......the free world needs this NOW!
One this I genuinely don’t agree with was your claim tomato juice doesn’t work....it does!!! My dog was sprayed last night and canned tomato sauce was the only thing that neutralized the smell!!!
I almost walked right into one last night without even knowing it. Something told me to look up and boom there was the skunk right in front of me with its tail 🆙. I stood there very still staring at it. Then in an instant the skunk took off. I was so grateful ☺️
I walk my dog very early in the AM and pretend we are hunting to make her happy. She saw a black outline in a field by my house (I thought it was a tire.) So I got low, we were hunting, run up on it. Ye, it was skunk. Skunks are not afraid and move slow. I now smell like Pepe.
Debra has suffered PTSD after being exposed to the shocking truth of what Dexter does, that she left her job as a police officer and now does Gross Science.
Fascinating. What I can’t figure out is this: my dogs just keep chasing skunks despite being repeatedly sprayed. And stink? OMG. will be trying the H202 asap.
Are skunks leery and skittish of humans or will they go wherever they want to go despite what's in their way. I've seen a skunk in my backyard 2 nights in a row now and it doesn't appear to be frightened of my presence.
My ex can still fart worse than any skunk squirt. She farted in my truck and it lingered for 3 days! That was just from gas! She went to 3 Dr's about being really bad... Try living with that for 6 years. EVERYDAY!
Put some bacon grease or other such delicious smelling food item (chicken, food scraps, cat food, marshmallows) in a humane wildlife trap. Place in a location on your property travelled by wildlife. Check in the morning or listen for them. Cover with something so you don't get sprayed.
hello, I know that the weasel family is pretty large and I was wondering, is there a weasel that doesn't smell or is there a min version of the ordinary weasel?
Actually the weasel family now only includes weasels, ferrets, and minks, whilst other species such as badgers, otters, zorillas, african striped weasels, marbled polecats, patagonian weasels, grisons, wolverines, tayras, martens, fishers, skunks, and stink badgers are now treated as four separate families: Melidae (Badgers), Lutridae (Otters), Ictonychidae (Zorillas, African Striped Weasel, Marbled Polecat, Patagonian Weasel, Grisons, Wolverine, Tayra, Martens, and Fisher), and Mephitidae (Skunks and Stink Badgers), while the former three families are grouped with Mustelidae into the superfamily Musteloidea, Mephitidae actually evolved independently and is more closely related to raccoons, ringtails, cacomistles, coatis, olingos, olinguitos, kinkajous, and red pandas, therefore Mephitidae actually belongs to Procyonoidea instead of Musteloidea.
Imagine if someone ate nothing but hard-boiled eggs and broccoli for a week, held it all in, and then took a dump like 6 inches from your face. So yeah, not something you're really missing out on. Ha ha
I think they smell sort of like weed. The first time I smelled week, I thought it was a skunk. They aren't that similar though, and someone who's had experience with weed would probably tell you they smell nothing alike.
Ben Rubel I actually almost put that as well but thought they wouldn't believe me! Ha ha! That's really true, though. There is some sort of similar compound in both skunk spray and weed, because I've always thought they have similar not, and basically everyone else I know agrees.
Ben Rubel Jake Andrews I thought it might be because of their diet, but according to Google, skunks are mostly carnivorous. I don't get it, but now my friends at University have a new excuse to tell their parents if they smell something fishy
You can get a Skunk that has it's glands removed. But, like Anna said, make sure to get it from a breeder. And check with your local laws allow skunks as pets.
International travelers to PA never know about skunks until theyre too close. Met one tonight, guy from india thought it was a bird or something, babby skunk was cute tho.
You promised and you delivered. This video stinks.
This is perhaps the best compliment I ever received. Thank you :)

this always confuses me. can't you get rid of the skunk smell off of you just with tomato juice? i am definitely not going anywhere near those little stinkers. no way.
Just like the topic of skunks smelly smell
I subbed to both your channels
"This video will include slow motion footage of Skunk anuses"
This is exactly what I subscribed for.
It wouldn't be properly gross without a few animal anuses now, would it?

In Germany they are literally called “stink animal“
The (Das) Stinktier c;
Same in Denmark :D Stinkdyr!
In italian : Puzzola.
Puzza = stink
-ola suffix is an endearing.
So it's like '' Stinkiette''
@@lovelyjubbly34 Zorrillo in Spanish........the curious thing is that zorro means fox..........????
Also, sloths are called "lazy animal"
What do you get when you cross a bear with a skunk? Winnie the Pee-You!
Skunk spray
• Color: yellow (like a dark yellow).
• Feels: wet and sticky, like tree sap.
• Comes out as an ink shot motion.
I like how skunks are just like, “Hey I don’t like to fight, don’t want to but if you try me I will shart on you!”
That accordion/polka/circus music really meshes with slow-motion skunk anus. Enchanting.
Stop replaying the anus clips and get back to work

How does that compound stay around so long and what species of skunk has the worst smell?
Mercaptin is also whats added to natural-gas to give it that rotten egg smell, as a saftey feature because its normally odorless and highly explosive. They cerntainly dont smell the same.
Mom: "What did you do today honey?"
ME: " I learned about anuses!"
I think this is the first "Gross Science" video that made me go "yew", keep them comming!
gross things often make me exclaim names of conifers... trust me, you don't want to know what made me go "arborvitae"
Wish I'd watch this video FIRST before we Washed my Husband's clothes in the washing machine with all his Other clothes :)

@@johnvolk8324 i didnt even spray it with febreze
I absolutely love really love so much are skunks I know people think it's gross but I don't care at all so people don't say that it's gross okay
Thank you for the science. It is great to see the science behind the skunk's musk. Cool science.
My dog just bit a skunk in the ass for like the fifth time. All of that nasty stuff coming from the skunk went right in her mouth. She won’t learn.
😥

I am so glad we don't have these in the UK, at least I think we don't... I've never seen of heard anyone speak of them.
Try checking out the pubs near 10 Downing, after work 😄
DDG ahhh yes of course! 😆
S a m m y H o l d e n sure we do. I live in Luton and have one as a pet :)
Does it enjoy anus nipple stimulation?........lol
Here .. ! Also Here From Saudi Arabia ^^ , No Skunk At All ^^
Exactly what I was looking for. Loved that it showed the spray up close. I was wondering what it was and what it looked like😅
i want a skunk now! if anyone threatens me i'll pop its tail up and say do you want to smell death !?
It's similar to lizard squirting blood or octopus squirting obnoxious ink. Thanks for the video.
Btw slow motion anus video is totally fine 😉
So, skunks are called Stinky-Stinky, got it.
Wish I saw this before mishap couple nights ago 😂. Should have not use water first but first aid to rinse the eye is needed so challenging to deal with the musk. It’s best to have any skunk remover product handy for every pet owner.
As I heard one time... a skunk isn't the worst smell, it's the most smell you'll experience. 😂

The anti-skunk product actually smells worse. Had an employee use it on her dog and she cleared out the entire department.
Loved this. So (wonderfully) gross! Awesome slo-mo. Eww.
u liar!!!
I don't like smelling stunk ?
What a nice slow mo video to watch before bed

wasnt joking about the gross part
Has anyone here ever been sprayed by a skunk before or know of anyone who has?
Ok it just seems to me skunk spray is just extra stinky liquid boo boo
Truly Gross! I'm impressed, you have plumbed new depths!
One this I genuinely don’t agree with was your claim tomato juice doesn’t work....it does!!! My dog was sprayed last night and canned tomato sauce was the only thing that neutralized the smell!!!
Also one thing I learned somewhere is for if you have pet skunk, you have a vet surgically remove the sent glands.
You "can" have a vet remove the sent glands. Sorry about the typos.
Yay for eating while watching Gross Science, no problems.
Thanks for the info. I've got a trap set for tonight right outside of one of their dens. Added some marshmallows for bait.

i found 2 baby stunks is there anyway to have them fixed so they dont spray.
I think I've read somewhere that if skunks grow up with humans they won't see us as enemies and won't spray. Just keep them away from dogs.
Skunk: best hat I ever made, after chunkin it in the skull with a tomahawk.

If the sprayed hits the eyes, the liquid causes temporary blindness

Stink is definitely an understatement! The smell is atrocious…
Was it the music or my new harvest or both that this episode seems extremely relaxed to me? Or is it because it actually is?
Got distracted watching this video by looking at something else... haha i'm going to rewatch.
Tomato j. does help a little. We had a dog that got sprayed and it helped some.

Only my sinuses! 😢
Skunks are adorable! I held an apricot skunk once. Such a sweet animal.
Omg I hit one with my car on my way to work... the smell was on my car for weeks.... its sooooooooo bad
Well deserved
This channel really lived up to its name lol
Here after getting recommended a video of a cyclist meeting a family of skunks
Lol same with me...
we actually just got home from a fall fair and one exibit had a de glanded skunk. soooo cute
You can get a Skunk that has it's glands removed. But, like Anna said, make sure to get it from a breeder. And check with your local laws allow skunks as pets.
Yeah, in some countries gland removal is illegal as it's considered animal abuse.
this deserves more views!
My little wild girl is adorable, as are some of her kin.
To date, not been sprayed.
They are in a few of my videos. Enjoy
Is it mean to get skunks de-glanded? (If you happen to adopt one)
So are there any chemical similarities between skunk musk and marijuana? Or is it just a coincidence that they can sometimes smell the same?
Hits blunt*****
Wiping my ass will never be the same

I worry about me. 😔

if I had a pet skunk I would train it to spray when ever I gave it a special command.
Do all mammals find the Thiols foul smelling?
Not the stoner mammals.
the ending reminds me of a night after eating Taco Bell all day
Skunk spray is just skunk diarrhoea
Change my mind
I actually like the scent.I think it’s from smoking skunk since the ‘80’s.
why do the two mephises in mephisis mephisis have different meanings?
They don't. Mefitis is actually the name of the Roman goddess of toxic vapour.
