What's That Smell?

When a person thinks of animals with a distinctive scent most people would think of the skunk,there is no denying a skunk's smell,but there are also animals with assorted pleasant scents,my macaw smelled like cookie dough. The binturong (native to southeast Asia,aka bearcat) smells like popcorn. Yellow ants smell like lemon drops but only emit the smell if disturbed. The spadefoot toad smells like peanut butter,but the substance causes sneezing and burning eyes. Beaver scent glands (located in the butt) produce a scent so much like vanilla it is sometimes used as a food additive...castoreum,in case you want to check a vanilla flavored product ingredients list!
