The Bloodhound is the acknowledged king of scent. The reason (supposedly) lies in its large number of olfactory receptors distributed in the olfactory epithelium along the intricate, maze-like scrolls of nasal turbinates. The Bloodhound’s deep muzzle has more room for more scrolling, and thus, more olfactory receptors. Each receptor sends its signal along a long nerve through a bony plate called the cribiform plate, and then to the olfactory bulb of the brain. It’s not practical to measure the surface area of the olfactory epithelium, but you can get a good estimate of the number of nerve cells by looking at how large the cribriform plate is. It turns out that cribriform plate size correlates very nicely with a species’ sense of smell.
