    To follow an animal often required tracking it when it ran out of sight. Our sense of smell stinks, so we looked for clues on where it went. That’s smart

      Our sense of smell isn’t bad. We’re great at detecting minute variations in smells as well as detecting rotting things in very little quantity.

        Yeah, you’re right. I should have said that our sense of smell isn’t specialized for smelling other animals at a distance for tracking like many other animals can.
