Today's word


flehmen \FLAY-mun\ - a mammalian behavior (as of horses or cats) in which the animal inhales with the mouth open and upper lip curled to facilitate exposure of the vomeronasal organ to a scent or pheromone

What a great new word!!  I find myself flehmening just to demonstrate to myself what they're talking about, though.
