The ring-tailed lemur really knows how to make a stink. Found solely on the island of Madagascar, these creatures respond to threatening rivals by rubbing their trademark black-and-white tails on glands under their arms (how very Mary Katherine Gallagher!), and then flicking stink bombs of body odor toward their opponents. Oddly enough, the male employs the same tactic when trying to lure female lemurs as lovers. The ladies, in turn, use the stink bombs as clues to uncovering their potential mate’s strength. Nothing says “I love you†like a nauseous chemical!
