These are our favourite animals' noses in Bhutan. Some of our models were slightly shy to display they sniffers - others showed off and were more than happy to get the old proboscis in front of the camera. Originally this blog was to be dedicated to the schnoz of ungulates alone. By doing this, I would have a reason to use the word 'ungulate' and thus appear clever. However, such a selection of smellers would be speciesist, and would not give fair exposure to the nostrils, nares, muzzles, snouts, snuffers and whiffers of non-ungulates as well. It now looks like I contrived a pretty feeble way of including 'ungulate' on our blog, and I might look a little less clever than I had originally hoped. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ungulate
