Do carnivores smell different from vegetarians?
Answers:
Axillary body odor is individually specific and potentially a rich source of information about its producer. Odor individuality partly results from genetic individuality, but the influence of ecological factors such as eating habits are another main source of odor variability. However, we know very little about how particular dietary components shape our body odor. Here we tested the effect of red meat consumption on body odor attractiveness. We used a balanced within-subject experimental design. Seventeen male odor donors were on "meat" or "nonmeat" diet for 2 weeks wearing axillary pads to collect body odor during the final 24 h of the diet. Fresh odor samples were assessed for their pleasantness, attractiveness, masculinity, and intensity by 30 women not using hormonal contraceptives. We repeated the same procedure a month later with the same odor donors, each on the opposite diet than before. Results of repeated measures analysis of variance showed that the odor of donors when on the nonmeat diet was judged as significantly more attractive, more pleasant, and less intense. This suggests that red meat consumption has a negative impact on perceived body odor hedonicity.

Yes, they use their tongues as well as their noses. Kinda like a snake.
i don't think so but i know if a person eat spicy food like curry or fruit like durian, you can kinda smell it on their body
No...both smell with their noses......
Yes, Carnivores have a greater sense of smell. Not all carnivores use their tongues, and noses. Some don't smell at all. However, overall we have a greater sence of smell. This is mostly because in Ancient Times during the Before the Paleolithic age They relied on their sence of smell and keen eyesight for hunting. vegitarians dont smell as good. Also in smelling in physicasl contact it varies per animal or person. Someone can smell bad or good.
try 2 smell them both or get a survey
Do you mean Humans? The rest of the animal kingdom is pretty well balanced. Carnivores need to detect prey and vice versa. Both sides have an acute sense of smell.
If you are asking about whether we meat eaters "stink" as some Vegans claim, I doubt it unless we have just recently cooked meat.
