The most impressive property of thiols, also called mercaptans, is their odour. Skunk scent is composed of 1-butanethiol and (E)-2-butene-1-thiol, and small amounts of other thiols (perhaps one of (E)-2-butenyl methyl disulfide or (E)-2-butenyl thioacetate). \n\nSee also table one of chemeducator article in link below;

In Texas, the common name of Polliwog or Chucklehead Cat is sometimes used for either the Black Bullhead Catfish (Ameiurus melas) or the Yellow Bullhead (Ameiurus natalis).\n\nThese are native fish to Texas and much of North America, and aren't really considered pest species.  They are not as desired by anglers as other catfish, like the flathead or channel cat, but they wouldn't be targeted as a nuisance species.\n\nThere are introduced exotic species in Texas that can cause problems in lakes and waterways, such as the grass carp (Ctenopharyngodon idella) and the common carp (Cyprinus carpio).  These can cause considerable damage to native ecosystems.

WOW....I must be totally off base from the other answerers because the first thing that came to mind when I glanced at the question was BAD TEETH.  BUT.....I guess that wouldn't be impressive would it.  Were you asking for geographical info?  If so I have nothing for you....but hey do YOU know the capital of Texas?

The kind they love to bite....lol...   Okay, I'm sorry. But that was funny wasn't it...lol...\n\nNow seriously, most catfish love an easy meal and thier olfactory nerve is better than most fish.  This isn't to say that it's all they use... but most spieces of catfish like some smell, eud de fish funk!!  Chicken livers and blood baits are common, but shad give off a great oil that channel and blue cats both love.  Personally, I use brim that are about hand sized and I back hook them.... right ahead of the dorsal fin... and chicken quarters.... both on 0000 stainless steel hooks.... Granted I am going after big.... no I mean really big cats on the Cape Fear River.... 45 plus pounds.\n I have found that most are the most active at night.... usually between midnight and sunrise... we catch more and larger fish in the wee hours that we do at any other time.\n\nHappy Cattin'!!

Eastern Skunk Cabbage (Symplocarpus foetidus), commonly known as simply "Skunk Cabbage", is a low growing, foul smelling plant that prefers wetlands. It can be found naturally in eastern North America, from Nova Scotia and southern Quebec west to Minnesota, and south to North Carolina and Tennessee; and also in northeastern Asia, in eastern Siberia, northeastern China and Japan. It is the only species in the genus, although the genus Lysichiton is similar.\nIt is a non-edible plants.

It may be a Sagebush lizard or a Western fence lizard. Would have helped if I know which state you were from.

night snake (Hypsiglena torquata)\n\nOrder: Squamata\nFamily: Colubridae (colubrid snakes)\nSpanish names: culebra\n\nDistinguishing Features\nThis small 12 to 26 inch (30 to 66 cm) snake has a triangular-shaped head, a dark eyestripe, and elliptical pupils; it is often mistaken for a young rattlesnake. The night snake is easily distinguished from the latter by a tail that tapers to a point and the absence of a rattle. The night snake has a pair of large, dark brown or black blotches on the neck immediately behind the head. It is pale gray, light brown, or beige with dark gray, brown, or black blotches on the back and sides; the underside is white. \n\n \nRange \nThe range of this snake extends from British Columbia through the western United States and south to Guerrero, Mexico.\n\nHabitat \nA habitat generalist, the night snake is found in rocky areas of grassland, chaparral, desertscrub, woodland, moist mountain meadows, and thornscrub from sea level to 8700 feet (2650 m). \n\nLife History \nSeldom encountered during the day, this nocturnal snake is often seen crossing roads at night. The night snake preys upon lizards, small snakes, frogs, salamanders, and small mice, which it subdues with its mild venom; this venom poses no threat to humans. Young night snakes feed upon insects. If disturbed, the night snake raises its head and weaves, hisses, and flattens its neck in threat. Two to 9 eggs are laid spring through summer.\n------------------------------------\nNight Snake \nHypsiglena torquata \n\nThe Night Snake is at home in a wide variety of climates, from the temperate northwestern United States to tropical Mexico. Like other snakes that are active after dark, it has vertical pupils. It is seen most frequently crossing warm back roads at night. It feeds on lizards, snakes, and frogs. While harmless to humans, the Night Snake has enlarged, grooved teeth that hold prey while a mild venom subdues it.\n\nLook For: A tan to gray snake with dark spots on back and a pair of large dark blotches on the neck. Vertical pupils.\n\nLength: 12-26".\n\nHabitat: Deserts, grasslands, chaparral, brushlands, mountain meadows.\n\nRange: Most of California, eastern Oregon, and Washington south through Nevada and Utah to central Texas.\n---------------------------------------\nKey Characteristics \nBronze/copper eye color, with a vertical pupil \nSmooth scales \nSmall size \nTan ground color with brown saddles/blotches \n\nGeneral Description:\nNight Snakes are smooth scaled snakes with striking bronze/copper colored eyes that have vertical pupils.  These features help distinguish them from Gopher Snakes, which are similarly colored but have keeled scales and round pupils.  Night Snakes have a dorsal coloration that consists of a tan ground color that is marked by contrasting brown saddles and lateral (side) spots.  The darker brown color also extends from the eyes onto the neck and forms a blotch at the base of the head.  This dark eye-line contrasts with the light (white or cream) colored labial area.  Night Snakes have a solid, pearly-white ventral coloration that is usually iridescent.  Night Snakes are mildly venomous (although not dangerous to humans), and when they are threatened they may coil their body and thrust the coils towards the offender.  While in this defensive posture, the head is flattened into a triangular shape.\n\nNight Snakes are small snakes, generally less than 61 cm (24 in.) in total length (Storm and Leonard 1995).\n\nNight Snakes, like most other snakes from Idaho, mate in the spring and lay 3-9 eggs that hatch later in the summer (Storm and Leonard 1995).  The juveniles resemble the adults.\n\nHabitat:\nNight Snakes are nocturnal, making them difficult to find.  They can be encountered by turning objects or during the night on desert roads.  These snakes inhabit desert lowlands that generally have a rocky component, although they can be found in areas lacking rocks, provided there are rodent burrows (Storm

Bathe in tomato juice; you can pick up bulk quantities fairly cheap at surplus stores like Sam's Club or Gordon's.  The acid will neutralize the bacteria and resulting odor, breaking up the oil on your skin; you should then be able to scrub down with a NON-OIL-BASED soap without retaining any of the body odor.\n\nThis treatment also works if you have been sprayed by a skunk, because skunk stench is simply an oily musk secreted from the skunk's anal glands.  Likewise, human body odor is produced by bacterium getting trapped in the pores by oil that forms over top and mixes with it, causing the familiar unpleasant smell we all deal with after puberty sets our glands on high gear.

brown recluse spiders and timber rattlers.  not sure what else but those are enough for me.  there are also many cases of rabies from rodent bites each year.
