How Animals Use Their Noses

Today we looked in books to find out information about how animals smell.  We looked for the words smell, nose or scent in the different animal books.  In the books we learned that a polar bear can smell prey up to 32 km away and 1 meter under the snow.  That is like smelling things happening in Okotoks when you are in High River!  We learned that grizzly bears smell other bears scents on trees and know to stay away and find a different home.  Hermit crabs and bees us their antennae help smell.  We also learned that Mosquitoes can smell people and animals from up to 30 meters away!
