    Default meaning

    Hi
    Dears

    What's "smells" mean in this sentence?

    "The crocodiles stay hidden by submerging the entire bodies except for their eyes and the tip of their smells"

    Thanks

    Hello.

    'Smells' is completly wrong for this sentence.

    I think
    "The crocodiles stay hidden by submerging their entire bodies, except for the tips of their noses" is better.

    Hope this helps.

    Chris.

    I would say, that the meaning of "smells" in this sentence is "sense of smell". Anyway that is my understanding of this sentence

    Best wishes,
    Dany
