    It's very normal. It's from the wolf ancestor. I think it is known as another way of marking territory.

    Yes, this is normal. When I worked at Wolf Park during my college days, we were told that the wolves do this type of behavior in order to bring information back to the pack. It is called "scent rolling". It's also not only limited to foul smelling odors. They tried different types of scents on the ground in the enclosure, and the wolves rolled on all of them!
