Walk away slowly. Under stress, they release a smell so offensive it can literally knock you unconscious.

Went to one of the sanctuaries around Hobart, their odor is pretty rough. I saw it described as smelling like a smelly wet dog, and it's definitely like that, but combined with like a "skunk, but one that evolved on the other side of the planet" smell.

So is wet dog smell evolutionary or do all dog-shapes just smell similar when wet?
