Even though she is far away, I can still smell her perfume. That's because a dog's smell is a thousand times better than a human's☝️
What makes a dog's nose so extremely sensitive?🤨⠀
1️⃣It's wet, so it picks up odor molecules better.⠀
2️⃣It has two air ducts, one to breathe and one to sniff. When the dog sniffs, air enters the nasal cavity channel, which contains the olfactory receptors.⠀
3️⃣The olfactory region of the nose can have an area of 50 in² or even more, and for humans, this area is only 2 in².⠀
4️⃣A dog's nose has 50 times more olfactory receptors than a human's.⠀
These characteristics allow a dog to detect different components of odors. For example, a human perceives the smell of soup as a whole, but a dog can smell every ingredient😋⠀
What a complex system to capture the favorite smell of Bully Sticks🙂
