Stinky mammals (6)

I believe the answer is:

skunks

(Other definitions for skunks that I've seen before include "Malodorous animals" , "Foul-smelling animals" , "American mammals that let out a smelly fluid in self-defence" , "Maladorous mammals" , "American animals noted for foul smell" .)

I've seen this clue in The Telegraph.
