Moonflowers stay closed
during the day and bloom in the
evening. All night long, their sweet
smell invites night-flying moths to visit.
By visiting, the moths help spread

the plant’s pollen so it can
make seeds.
The huge titan arum needs
to grow for 7 to 10 years before
it blooms. Then it uses its smell to
attract insects too. But it stinks,
stinks, stinks. It smells like rotten meat.
Moths don’t like it, but flies do. I’m
glad someone does.

Know Your Noses

People breathe and smell with
their noses. Animals do too, but
look what else they can do!

Noisy Noses

A male proboscis monkey’s

big nose acts as a kind of
echo chamber. The bigger
the monkey’s nose, the
louder his honks and calls
sound. He makes his loudest
noises to warn of danger,
scare away rivals, and show
off for female monkeys.

A dolphin breathes air through

the blowhole on the top of its
head. Some of the air fills small
nose sacs beneath the blowhole.
The dolphin uses these sacs to
make clicks and other sounds. By
listening to the sounds’ echoes,
the dolphin can tell what’s around
it, even in dark waters.

8

Neat Noses

In the desert where camels live,

wind blows sand everywhere—even
up your nose. Yuck! But camels have
a trick to keep their noses clean.
They can shut their nostrils tight!

Sloth bears can close their

nostrils too. They’re not keeping
out sand, though. Sloth bears
dig up ant and termite nests to
slurp up the insects. To keep
bugs from crawling up their
noses as they eat, they squeeze
their nostrils shut.

Dugongs live in warm

shallow waters where
they graze on seagrasses.
Their nostrils have flaps
that close while they’re
underwater. The flaps
open when the dugong
rises to the surface to
breathe.

9

Nifty Noses

A star-nosed mole feels with its

nose! The 22 pink tentacles on
its nose wiggle like fingers. The
nearly blind mole uses them to
find worms and other food in its
underground tunnels.

Can you dig with your nose? A pig can.

When a pig smells mushrooms, bugs, or
other tasty treats buried in the dirt, it uses
its snout to shovel them up. A bone inside
makes the nose strong enough to push
away rocks, roots, and other rough stuff.

The animal with the niftiest, most

talented nose is the elephant. The

elephant’s long trunk can grab and
hold things, from a little leaf to a
big branch. It can suck up water for
a drink or a shower, trumpet loud
warnings, and best of all, give hugs.

Which body part stands out from the rest?
Which one fills your lungs with air, shoots out germs

with a sneeze, and smells everything yummy,
from flowers to fresh bread?

Your Fabulous
Nose!

The nose knows sniffing and smelling.
That’s top of the list, but definitely not all.
Without your nose, strawberries wouldn’t
taste as sweet. Germs from outside your
body would have an easier route in. Even
your voice just wouldn’t sound the same.

11

The taste buds on your tongue
tell your brain if food is sweet,
salty, bitter, savory, or sour. But
without the scent detectors
in your nose telling your
brain what you’re smelling,
you’d have a hard time
knowing a bite of apple
from a piece of potato.

Your nose makes about 4 cups of
slimy stuff called mucus every
day. The wet, gooey mucus adds
moisture to the air you breathe
and traps dust and germs so they
don’t get inside your body.

Your nose has two openings called
nostrils. Every time you take a breath,
particles of scent move up through
your nostrils. When you sniff, more

higher up in your nose.

High inside each nostril is a special SCENT
area that is crowded with tiny hairlike DETECTORS

Click: Makes sense! How did you

Eba: My human taught me. She’s
a scientist named Dr. Deborah

Click: So how did Giles teach you?

Eba: First she let me smell
some orca scat. Then right
away she played tug with me.
I LOVE to play tug! She did
that until I got the idea that
the scat smell meant TUG!
Then she hid the scat in her

finding it, and every time I
did, we played tug!

Eba: Right! So next Giles took me on a boat
and hid the scat in a bowl floating on the
water. I couldn’t run right up to the scat,
but I could run to the side of the
boat the smell was coming from.

Click: And when you did, I bet she
played tug with you.

Eba: Exactly! I learned fast that on
the boat it’s my job to sniff for orca
scat.

Click: Hmm, Giles knew where to
find the bowl of scat because she
hid it. How do you tell her where to
find new scat you smell?

Eba: I go to the side of the
boat where the smell is
coming from and wag
my tail and lick my
lips. That’s my way of
saying, “Go this way!
It’s over here.” Giles
steers the boat that way,
and I keep moving to
tell her which way to

Click: How much scat can you find in

Eba: The most we’ve found is 11

Some days I don’t find any. It just
depends on whether the whales come

Sleepy, Sneezy,

by Charnan Simon art by John Nez

Jamil Kane wasn’t feeling so great.

He woke up with a runny nose. At lunch
he started sneezing. By bedtime, he was a
stuffy, sniffly, sneezy mess.

“I hate having a cold!” Jamil said
grumpily. He sneezed—once, twice,
three times—and started to wipe
his nose on his pajama sleeve.

“Hold on a minute, cowboy,”
said Mom. “Use a tissue, not
your sleeve.”

Jamil scowled. “I’d better
not have a cold tomorrow,” he
warned. “Scott’s coming over

to play!”
Mom tucked the comforter

snug around Jamil. “We’ll
see. Get a good night’s sleep,
and maybe you’ll feel all

better in the morning!”

26

and Grumpy

But Jamil didn’t feel better in the morning.
He felt worse. “I’m too stuffy to breathe!” he
wailed as he padded into the kitchen. “And
my mouth is yucky and dry!”

“Poor kid!” said Dad. “Your mouth is dry
because you had to breathe through it last
night. Air gets to your lungs whether you
breathe through your mouth or nose, but
your body likes it better when you use your
nose. Your nose warms up cold air before it
reaches your lungs. Plus, your nose adds
moisture to the air, so your lungs don’t dry
out. And tiny little hairs inside your nose
keep out germs and dirt.”

27

Dad finished stirring a steaming
mug and handed it to Jamil. “I
figured your nose might need a
little help this morning. See if this
hot lemon tea clears you up.”

Jamil sipped the hot tea
cautiously. It was sweet and
lemony, and it really did help him
breathe a little better. Only—“Now
I need a tissue!” he said.

Mom slid the box across the
counter. “Keep blowing,” she said
cheerfully. “Your nose is making
extra mucus, to help wash away
those yucky cold germs. Drinking
lots of fluids helps loosen up the
mucus. And blowing your nose helps
get rid of the mucus, so you can
breathe more easily. You’re doing

just fine, for a boy with a cold!”
Jamil blew his nose loudly. “Can
Scott come over to play?”
he asked.
Mom hesitated. “You’ll
get better faster if you
take it easy today.”

28

Jamil started to protest but sneezed instead.
“How come I keep sneezing?” he asked
through a fistful of soggy tissues.

“Well,” said Dad. “Sneezing is your
body’s way of getting rid of stuff
that bothers your nose. Right
now you’ve got cold germs
irritating your nose, making
it all swollen and filled with
mucus. So your nose sends a
message to the sneeze center
in your brain, and the sneeze
center sends a message to
a whole bunch of muscles,
telling them to get ready to
sneeze. Your stomach
muscles, chest muscles,
throat muscles—even
your eyelid muscles—get
into the act! Clearing out
your nose by sneezing is a
big deal!”

“Oh, right,” Jamil said. His
dad sometimes liked to kid
around. “I use my eyelid muscles
when I sneeze?”

“It’s true,” Mom said. “Think about it.
You always close your eyes when you sneeze.
Most everybody does.”

“And,” said Dad, “did you know that
when you sneeze you can send tiny little
particles flying out of your nose and mouth
at 100 miles per hour?”

29

“Which is one reason Scott might not
want to come over today,” Mom added.
“Sneezing on another person is a great
way to give him your cold.”

Jamil sighed. “Can I at least call Scott
on the phone?”

“Sure,” Mom said. “Germs spread by
sneezing and coughing and touching, not
by telephone!”

It was a long, slow morning for
Jamil. He felt tired and crabby and like
he was drowning in lemon tea. But the
worst thing happened at lunch. “Come
and get it,” Dad called as Jamil and
Mom were getting out the Monopoly
board. “Chicken noodle soup and
banana bread hot out of the oven!”

Yes! Dad’s nutmeg-y banana bread
was the best. Jamil sniffed the air
as he rounded the corner into the
kitchen. Then Jamil sniffed again.
And again. “Hey!” he said accusingly.
“I don’t smell any banana bread! It’s
not nice to tease!”

Mom gave him a quick hug. “Poor
Jamil,” she said sympathetically.
“Dad’s not teasing. It’s your cold. Your
nose is so plugged up, your smell
sensors can’t work right. They’re sort
of, well, buried in mucus.”

30

“That stinks!” said Jamil. But that wasn’t the
worst of it. Jamil couldn’t taste the banana bread,
either! Or the chicken soup! Or the orange slices Dad
had cut just the way Jamil liked them.

“No fair!” Jamil protested. “I can’t taste anything!
And I’m hungry!”

This time it was Dad who hugged Jamil. “It’s still
your cold, buckaroo. Smell and taste work together.
Most of the flavors you love? You really recognize
them by the way they smell. Since you can’t smell
anything with that stuffy nose, you can’t taste
much, either. I’m so sorry!”

Jamil was sorry too—sorry for himself and his
bad cold and his bad day. He barely paid attention
when the doorbell rang. Dad went to answer it, and
Jamil heard him laugh. When Dad came back in the
kitchen, he was still grinning.

31

“That was Scott,” Dad said. “He says to get
better so you can play tomorrow. In the meantime,
he brought you a new nose, since you’re having
so much trouble with your old one. Here!”

Jamil caught the thing Dad tossed, and
then he started grinning too. Scott’s nose was
a fake rubbery one, hanging from a key chain.
When Jamil squeezed it, two gobs of mucus
oozed out of the nostrils. When he stopped
squeezing, the gobs went back into the nose.

“Gross,” Jamil said happily. He picked up
his spoon and took a slurp of tasteless soup.
“That Scott is some good friend!”

32

Excuse
You!

What should you
do when your nose
feels stuffy or runny?
Blow it into a tissue
or hanky, of course.

A giraffe can’t
