• Sweetbriar Nature Center: "For your viewing pleasure, meet one of yesterday's intakes. This chipmunk was found in a homeowner's backyard; it wasn't acting like a normal chipmunk (it didn’t run away). They could pick it up easily and bring it to our clinic." (Sweetbriar Nature Center via Facebook)
• Smithtown Historical Society: "Farm Facts! The horse's range of smell is more acute than humans but less sensitive than that of dogs. Horses use their sense of smell to identify other horses, people, predators, and feedstuffs." (Smithtown Historical Society via Facebook)
