Solution

The smell of rotten eggs probably makes you cringe, but for penguins

this smell might mean there’s a meal nearby.

New research shows that penguins are attracted to

this rotten-egg smell and probably use it when foraging for food

in the ocean. The study is one of the first to show

that penguins have a functioning sense of smell.

Although penguins can be smelly, they aren’t known

for a keen sense of smell. New research suggests that they

might be able to detect certain odors to locate food.
