Animal with a stinky spray (5)

I believe the answer is:

skunk

(Other definitions for skunk that I've seen before include "rat" , "Evil-smelling animal of N America" , "Mammal using scent as a weapon" , "Strong pot" , "American animal notorious for its bad smell" .)

I've seen this clue in the USA Today.
