Did you know that chelonians can smell both on land and in water?
Instead of the olfactory organ, Jacobsons organ, like snakes, lizards and most mammals have, turtles have developed a specific tissue in their nasal cavities where both air and waterborne odorants.
Both turtles and tortoises use their excellent sense of smell to find an available partner to mate and to find food.
Do you think this pig-nosed turtle is looking for leftovers in the sand perhaps?
