Giraffes have a strong, distinctive, often unpleasant, musky odor, especially older males (called "stink bulls"), due to skin secretions containing antibiotics, parasite repellents, indole, and 3-methylindole, which create a fecal-like smell up close but can smell sweeter from afar. This natural scent acts as a defense mechanism, repelling microbes and parasites, and may also play a role in mating rituals.
