Too bad they can't see: Apperently, moles smell in stereo - Polidicks

[IMG]http://www.sciencenews.org/view/download/id/348070/name/SMELLS_GOOD[/IMG] [QUOTE]The common mole may be homely but its nose is a wonder to behold. The eastern American mole, also known as the common mole, tracks down an earthworm treat by recognizing the slightly different odor cues entering each nostril, neurobiologist Kenneth Catania of Vanderbilt University in Nashville reports online February 5 in Nature Communications. The finding suggests that even though mole nostrils are separated by a fraction of a centimeter, each gets its own scent information that can guide an animal’s actions. “It’s an elegant demonstration of what many people suspected,” says Peter Brunjes, a neuroscientist at the University of Virginia. Previous experiments with people and rats had reached contradictory conclusions regarding whether smell, like sight and hearing, is a bilateral sense.[/QUOTE] There's a whole lot more in the [URL="http://www.sciencenews.org/view/generic/id/348069/description/Mole_smells_in_stereo"]source[/URL].

That's so creepy seeing no eyes. [editline]10th February 2013[/editline] I wonder if they can smell in a mirror..

I thought all animals did. Heck, even we do, and we've got probably the shittest sense of smell out of most animals.

The way they rest their front claws on the ground makes them look professional. "Hello, sir. How can I make your day more mole today? May I interest you in our mole services, or mole goods?"

Not surprising. It's just like depth perception. Our ears do the same thing.

They dont need eyes. They live underground.

i would like to have the ability to smell the entire earth it would probably smell like fish

You're now smelling in (((Stereo)))

I don't see how this is news, many animals smell in stereo, such as some sharks for example.
