Answer 2

What is the family of the animal that is land-dwelling and uses scent glands for defense?

Step-by-step explanation:

The coat can serve as a chemical defense, since the parasite repellents it contains give the animal a characteristic odor. The coat contains at least 11 aromatic chemicals, although indole and 3-methylindole are responsible for most of the odor.

The answer is: Giraffa camelopardalis.
