If you didn't know I like animals, you know it now.  And I have a special obsession with animal noses.  (Seriously.  If my cat could count or talk, she'd have stories to tell about all the times I've beeped her nose.)   So this post is dedicated to animal noses.  Specifically... well, you'll find out.

 

I once adopted half a giraffe at the Denver Zoo.  Her name was Flo.  Ever since then, I've been fascinated by giraffes.  (Did you know their tongues are prehensile?)

 

 

There are cats, of course.  I have mine trained to get up on her haunches and sniff at my fingers, but she runs away from the camera, so I don't have proof.

 

 

And then there's the hedgehog: not only do they have dainty paws, but adorable snuffly noses.  Truly one of the most underrated creatures in the world.

 

 

I found this next one particularly mooooooving.  (I make no apologies.)

 

 

I've done cats.  I suppose I should give dogs an equal share, right?  It's the sound that really makes this one.

 

 

And then the guinea pig.   I heart guinea pigs.
