On this episode of Animal Super Senses, we examine how things taste and how vital scent is from the animal perspective. Their sense of smell can detect the scent of odorants carried through the air. In mammals, taste receptor cells are scattered over the tongue. In other creatures, they can be located in some fairly odd places. How taste and smell receptors work underwater, well, it's a whole other world. Species: Rattle Snake, Tapir, Salmon, Bolas Spider.
