Caught this nice healthy 4 yr old doing the "flehmen" while tending a Cow this past winter. They do this to pull in the scent of a Cows urine, and run it across the vomeronasal organ to see if she is in heat.

This one is not as good due to the bright glare of the sun on his coat, but shows a head-on look.

A camera didn't make a great picture anymore than a typewriter wrote a great novel.
