The daily lemming

Posted by Robin on 30 August 2022 Leave a Comment

Dedtergent from DedCool, in the Taunt fragrance: "Evoke an aura of confidence.

Wolves can smell other animals from more than a mile away, using pheromones to gather information about that animal. A wolf can recognize a member of their pack just by scent.
