Anal gland
|
A pair of secretory glands found in mammals, including carnivores and rodents, that open near the anus. They are scent glands formed from sebaceous glands and secrete a liquid with a strong volatile odor. The strong odor of a skunk and the so-called "last stalk of a weasel" are caused by this secretion.
