Striped Skunks can spray their famously stinky defense mechanism up to 10 ft. from their bodies. The spray is composed of several volatile compounds, including (E)-2-butene-1-thiol, S-(E)-2-butenyl thioacetate, S-3-methylbutenyl thioacetate, 3-methyl-1-butanethiol, 2-quinolinemethanethiol, and 2-methylquinoline.
