Olfaction is the sense of smell, which is the ability to perceive and distinguish odours. Most '''mammals''' have a good sense of smell, but most '''birds''' generally do not. The sense of smell is well-developed in '''carnivores''' (predators) and '''ungulates''' (prey). '''Fish''' also have a fairly well-developed sense of smell. Olfactory and gustatory receptors can combine to contribute to flavour. | Olfaction is the sense of smell, which is the ability to perceive and distinguish odours.
