Our favourite animal noses

---

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.

Daisy's infamous coy wink and surly pout: the deep and molten sensuality that pierce through her undeniably seductive stare is mesmerising with its beguiling charm.

Gandalf
Suppressing his formidable mullishness, Thimphu born Gandalf (4) exudes his boyish charm and owns the camera.

Horsey
The confidence to pull off the bed-hair look and still look a million dollars. This heart-throb is blessed with those sensuous lips, and smoldering eyes.

The beauty of the 'Mona Lisa' smile. Impossible to put to words, but brought to life with enchanting allure.

How to accessorise
A master of complimentary accessories, this understated look shows that yak can combine rural chic with professional sophistication

Takin
[This photo was taken by someone else].We live next to the Thimphu Takin reserve, and with a shnoz as beautiful as this, it has to feature on this blog. Rarely can we get such an adenoidally compliant model.
The reserve was closed for a period, years ago, since animal confinement was not considered in-keeping with Bhuddist ideals. However, the Takains then aimlessly wandered the streets of Thimphu and had to be put back in the reserve for their own safety.

Shyness
Teasingly flirtatious and shy. The yak's tantalising coyness mirrors her delicate and dainty frame.
