No one ever says so, but gross stuff is sort of magical. Nasty
things are like magnets that repel and attract us at the same
time.
Once our disgust is activated, we get a strong feeling of
revulsion; we might start breathing through our mouth or look away
from the gross thing in question. But at the same time, we can''t
help sneaking a glance or a sniff to see if that nasty thing is
still oozing, stinking, or pulsating. Yeah, pulsating is
good!
A skunk has anal sacs that are filled with extremely stinky
fluid. And it can shoot this fluid a long way. But incredibly, the
skunk doesn''t win this award. Instead, it goes to an African animal
called the zorilla. The zorilla actually looks like a skunk, but it
smells even worse. A famous zoologist said that it has the "most
well-developed anal glands in the animal kingdom." The stink of a
zorilla''s anal gland is so bad, these animals don''t even hang out
with each other!
