When we caught and tagged them it was scent which usually gave us away, their smell is amazing.
Also from the time the net would release to catching them (10' fall) they would be 20' away.
thats true, they can smell great. I mean they are prey animals
bears can smell great too tho, wtf do i know
I suppose it is more of environmental awareness, and people do stink
I think smell is just an overall useful skill for a lot of animals. It lets you detect predators, prey, and friends from a distance and even long after they're gone.
Supposedly it's also the closet sense tired to human memory. Smells tend to stick with you forever.
