Certain species of skunks, particularly the striped skunk, are known for their ability to spray a foul-smelling liquid that can resemble the odor of gasoline. This spray is a defense mechanism, containing sulfur compounds that create a pungent scent. Additionally, some species of weasels and the European polecat also produce similar-smelling secretions for marking territory or defense. The resemblance to gasoline is coincidental and varies depending on individual perception.
