Is it true that a skunk sprays its musk when it is frightened?

Yes, a skunk will spray its musk when it is frightened. Skunks are mammals that have glands in their skin that produce an odor called musk. Musks are used by animals to attract mates and defend territories. When a skunk is threatened or scared, it will release the musk from its body as a form of defense.
