We've saved the best for last. The zorilla, or striped pole cat, is native to Africa and is widely considered the stinkiest creature on the earth. It's a member of the weasel family and though it has stripes, it is not a skunk. It smells so bad that it can be smelled a half a mile away. That's more than 14 football fields. That, friends, is ripe. Most animals avoid them which is why the zorilla spends most of it's life alone. It's cute enough to hug and since it's probably lonely, it could use one. You'd just need arms a half mile long to keep your nose far enough away. Our final nominee for official mascot of Stink Week: the zorilla!
