Note for Procedural Step 4

The olfactory sensors in the nose will become fatigued and will fail, for a while, to respond to scents of the same kind.

SILENT SMELL TRACKING

Rationale

Wolves, like many animals, rely on their senses for learning. Almost from the time they are born, wolf pups use their sense of smell to tell them where they are and to help them find their mother for each meal. For wolves, like other animals, the sense of smell is often more sensitive than it is in humans. For example, although we might be able to detect smells in the air like perfumes or smoke, wolves can sense odors much earlier and in more diluted quantities than we can. Animals often mark their territories by leaving scents that other animals can smell. Further, animals can identify their relatives by their individual smells. The scents come from glands located in various places on the wolves’ bodies: the base of the tail, the skin, their feet, and so on. Wolves often spread their scent by rubbing parts of their bodies against trees.

In this simulation, you will be lost wolf pups. You will try to find your mother, or your den, as well as other members of your wolf pack by using your sense of smell.
