Is this the reason why dogs sniff other dogs' butts? (They have sent glands on their butts that tell them who individuals are and about their emotion/mood and health.)
Good Morning Folks,
Welcome to Ted Tuesdays where we inform and delight sharing my favorite inspirational talks from Ted. Ted is one of the best things that's been made possible by the Internet that was never possible before. It's opened up a world of knowledge delivered to your desktop that enhances life's experience.
I have dozens of Ted talks bookmarked to share with you. But this weekend I came across a just released one that I thought it was super interesting! If you've ever wondered why dogs have to sniff every single thing they come across then this will probably shed some light! I would gladly trade our "better" sense of sight for a canine-like sense of smell! It's crazy the amount of things you can pick up on and has made the world of dogs much more interesting to me!
You may have heard the expression that dogs ‘see with their noses.’ But these creature’s amazing nasal architecture actually reveals a whole world beyond what we can see. Alexandra Horowitz illustrates how the dog’s nose can smell the past, the future and even things that can’t be seen at all.
Their sense of smell is 100 million times more sensitive than humans'. They can read minds -- sensing emotions through smell. They can see the past, by sensing lingering odors of people and creatures that have moved on. And they can see the future, smelling oncoming people and creatures before they arrive.
Also, they can sense what direction a smell is coming from, and the direction it's going.
I haver been told that when dogs go the dog park the attraction is to "read the newspaper" sniffing out who else was there when and with how,
Well I just learned a thing or two about our own dogs. Who says an old dog like me can't learn some new tricks? j How about you?
Thanks for listening.
Have a GREAT Day,
