Many predators utilize scent

Posted by Robin on 16 April 2012 5 Comments

Patrick Thomas of the Bronx Zoo and the Wildlife Conservation Society talks about scent enrichment programs for big cats held in captivity, and how perfumes are used in the field to assist in learning more about wild animals. Hat tip to Jane!

    “Sometimes they would start drooling, their eyes would half-close, almost like they were going into a trance…”

    Oh, big cats, I’ve been there too. ;)

        Agreed, Jessica. I try to explain this reaction to Mr. Ab. Scent and my credit cards but it still doesn’t seem to sway them. ;)

        Every time I wear the original Obsession, I always think of the tigers whose reactions to it were so… favorable and it makes me smile.

    At least those cats have good taste in smells; Calvin Klein Obsession LOL Hopefully they never get a whiff of By Killian or Serge Lutens. I was also taken back by the sheer volume of perfume the staff put on the rocks! That woman poured at least half a bottle on that round ball.

      It must get expensive! I remember the San Diego zoo was soliciting perfume donations.
