Everything about Snout
Extended part of an animal's mouth
A snout is the protruding portion of an animal's face, consisting of its nose, mouth, and jaw. In many animals, the structure is called a muzzle, rostrum, beak, trunk or proboscis. A dog's snout is sometimes colloquially referred to as a snoot. The wet furless surface around the nostrils of the nose of many mammals is called the rhinarium. The rhinarium is often associated with a stronger sense of olfaction. Wikipedia →
