Here are 10 animals that naturally smell good.
A lot of animals that live in the wild tend not to emit the most pleasant of odors. There are a number of them, however, that are exceptions.
Here are 10 that naturally smell good.
Number 10. Koalas. They eat a lot of eucalyptus, so for the most part being next to one is like inhaling the soothing aromas of a cough drop. Even their waste smells like a cold-battling lozenge.
Number 9. Binturongs. This bear/cat/monkey-looking creature is unique for a number of reasons. One is, of course, it’s fairly odd appearance. Another is that it has a pleasing aroma of freshly made popcorn.
Number 8. Beavers. Between their pelvis and tail is a sac chock full of a lovely vanilla-scented, territory-marking substance. It’s so beautiful that perfumers have been using it in their fragrances for years. Flavorings used in food making may also include a bit of it.
Number 7. Yellow Ants. They may be pesky, but at least they smell lemony fresh. As part of their defense strategy they release the citrus essence when threatened. It simultaneously wards off predators while alerting the rest of the colony that danger is near.
Number 6. Copperhead Snakes. Luckily for them, they strike quickly, have sharp teeth, and pack venom strong enough to require medical assistance. Other than that their primary reaction to threats is to excrete a rather pleasant smelling cucumber-scented musk.
Number 5. Millipedes. They’re creepy to be sure, but those who pick up and squeeze one do get a wonderful olfactory reward. When pinched, some species of the leggy crawlers give off a whiff of Cherry Coke.
Number 4. Honey Bees. They have the power to produce a fragrance that’s very similar to how Juicy Fruit gum tastes. The sweet, banana-like aroma is used to communicate with other bees.
Number 3. Stressed-Out Frogs. Like many animals, certain species of frogs emit an odor when they’re anxious. Of the approximately 130 frogs pushed to their limits and then sniffed by scientist, a number of them smelled of licorice, mint, or cashews.
Number 2. Peppermint Stick Insect. Their name comes from their signature scent, which gets released when the long, thin bugs are disturbed. It comes out of the body in the form of a milky-white goo.
Number 1. Bed Bugs. The parasites cause a world of trouble, but they do smell nice while doing so. Their particular bouquet is described as being a mixture of coriander, tart citrus, and cilantro.
Which animal do you think is the best smelling?
