We all know how well rats and mice can sniff out the smallest tidbit however this is amazing information about our rodent life, given to us by Creation magazine Vol 29 No. 2.
New research has shown that rats can use their two nostrils to localize the source of an odour. This is similar to the way that having two ears enables us to locate the source of a sound.
Although rat nostrils are only three millimetres apart, these animals can detect whether an odour source is to the left or right using time-of-arrival differences or concentration differences. that is, which nostril received the smell first or is receiving the stronger odour. (When one nostril was covered, the rats could no longer identify the direction of an odour, confirming that 'rats smell in stereo', say researchers.)
What's more, rats can locate an odour source in just 50 milliseconds - i.e. within a single sniff.'
